The buzzer signals the start of another “routine day of classes. Five minutes later another buzzer sounds and it’s time to get settled, as the teachers read the bulletin and take roll. The classes go down one by one until lunch. 12:10 P.M. A buzzer sounds to begin a 45 minute break to eat or have organization meetings, then it’s time to begin the home stretch - only two hours to go! 2:57 P.M. The final buzzer sounds, books are thrown into lockers and a “typical day has ended. But was it typical? Or did we find something different during those routine days? Maybe there was something that didn't quite fit the mold, something out of the ordinary, something — beyond description, (oont. page 4) The Scrapper craeh through the Homeoomlng run-through poeter aa they begin their onalaught on Ashdown.

Definitely! Not every school could say that it had four exchange students to add character to its school, or say that its AA football team had defeated a AAAA football team which was ranked sixth in the state at the time. The building at Nashville High was also quite different from most schools. On cold days the open hallways caused students a lot of rushing between classes, because they had to spend extra time putting on and taking off their coats. Most schools could not say that their walls were all painted mint green and their halls bright orange. The orange gates, which kept intruders out at night, also served as a conversation piece for the Nashville High students. Although the gates were never locked during school hours, the students claimed that they served as prison bars to help enforce the closed campus policy. Some of the more ordinary (?) events which students participated in consisted of traditional banquets, plays, and parades. Homecoming was one of those plain (?) occasions which contained much sentiment. Queen Ann McAdams reigned over the homecoming festivities as proudly as a real queen would reign over her country. Tears, excitement, beautiful dresses, and flushed faces all added to the glamor of the 1981 Homecoming. The participants of the customary (?) Howard County Fair Parade included: the fair queen Kelley Lovelis, the senior class, the cheerleaders, the Scrapper band and members of the county 4-H clubs. The uneventful (?) Christmas parade was conducted at night and was very pleasing to the eyes because of the many different lights.(cont. page 7) The senior band members receive their band jackets from Band Booster President.

The French Club worked many hard hours in preparing their float, which was entitled, “Angels We Have Heard on High. The Scrapper band, the cheerleaders and county 4-H clubs also had entries in this parade. Jim Stuckey, president of the Rotary Club, was the master of ceremonies at the unexceptional (?) Rotary Football Banquet. For the seniors and many others, this banquet will long be remembered as one of the high points of their year, in which they were able to reflect upon their dramatic and surprising football season. One of the regular (?) occurences at Nashville High was the Band Banquet. There had not been a Band Banquet at Nashville High for four years, and the Band wanted to make this one the best one of all. The banquet turned out to be a real success because of the cooperativeness of many of the band members. It was typical (?) for some of the “actors’ in the junior play to forget their lines. The play was full of fun, embarrassment, and a lot of tense moments. The lifeless (?) senior play ran a lot more smoothly than the junior play which they had presented the previous year. Although this was one of the last things that this whole group would be doing together, it tended to bring them closer together. The normal (?) Spring Sports Banquet was held in honor of the track, baseball, tennis, golf, and basketball teams. Coach Gary Segrest gave a short summary of all the sports. Laughs, excitement and good food all helped to make the regular (?) Junior Senior Banquet a success. The routine (?) graduation was filled with joy and sorrow as the seniors took the final step toward their bright (?) future. Adding spirit to the Homecoming pep rally is one of the many contributions the band gives to the school. 8 Student Life Student Life Beyond Description Unique Restless Boastful Outgoing Involved Friendly Mischievous Surprising Daring Spirited Exciting Comical The hit song “You Light Up My Life ie sung by PrieclUa Hawthorne during the Student Council sponsored talent show. Eating in the cafeteria is one way for students to spend their lunch break. Weekends, ball games, and pep rallies are just a part of the activities in which students participated. Beyond description is a phrase that was commonly used to describe student life. “It’s, hum, hard to explain,” said Richard Hughes, “It's different, and I think the teachers are okay — some good, some bad. There are too many students, not enough teachers.” Principal Bill Dawson stated that he had worked in six schools and. ”the students here are among the best.” “There are a lot of different personalities and pleasant surroundings. The students are full of energy and are outgoing. noted Mrs. Kathi Ellis. Fred Holston’s opinion of the students was that the students are, for the most part, rule-abiding and responsible. While opinions may vary, comments about NHS students were usually favorable. While they were singing, eating, or studying, students found that Nashville High was a pretty enjoyable place to be.

Friday and Saturday nights meant a date or hanging out with some friends. The question was, Where should a couple go on a date?” The first thought was usually the movies. They made their decision depending on the movie that was showing that weekend. Many couples usually made it to the show one night out of the weekend, but if it was a good movie they just might see it more than once. When going out with friends the places were limited. One could go to J J Gameroom and Snack Bar, the skating rink, or the Pizza Hut. Students who couldn’t date usually went to one of these places to meet a boyfriend or girlfriend. They hardly ever stayed in one place. They usually spent 10-25 dollars a weekend. Dating around Nashville was unpredictable; one never knew just what would happen next. An average date began about 7:30 p.m. and ended when the couple got home. The parents always thought their daughter was out with the nicest young man; well, that is a statement better left untouched. Students usually picked dates for their great looks or personality. They didn’t often date with other couples. After a perfect date a couple usually went parking, but in Nashville “parking places were limited. A few places were behind churches, wooded areas, the city lake, airport, and Honeysuckle Lane; the list could go on. Parking has been misunderstood. Couples went there to talk and understand each other better without the luxury of a little brother or sister. These were a few of the many ways young people spent their time at night, in Nashville. You probably had your own way of spending a weekend, but there was no better way to spend it than being with someone who was very special to youl Jame Carver concentre tee on hie pool game.

Teens thought some clothes were the latest from top designers, while parents remarked that styles resembled those from their youth. Some of the returning fads looked odd and unusual to us today, but to our parents and grand-parents they looked like something from the past. A few of the styles were straight-legs, pleated and gathered skirts, moccasins, ballerina shoes, spikes, squaw blouses, and oxfords. Some new and very different things also emerged from the minds of designers, such as baggies, parachute purses, polo shirts, camoflauge clothes, blazers, and the craze — Designer Jeans!!! Fall colors included deep green, burgundy, and beige. Plaid wool blazers, all types of corduroy, light weight jackets, and western wear were also in” this fall. The favorites, fashion jeans, were considered stylish in spring. There were other particular fashions preferred by teenagers such as knit tops, sportswear, lots of different types of denim, split skirts, and different lengths of shorts. Some popular colors were pastels, navy, jade green, white, scarlet, and beige silks. Linen shirts and skirts were the rage in spring. Students had many different opinions about fashions. James Carson, a senior, said. I think ties, blazers. designer jeans, baggies, and camoflauge pants are in fashion.” Sophomore, Jennifer Young said, I prefer jeans, corduroy blazers, and I don’t think baggies look good on everyone.” Other students remarked that the fashion scene changed frequently, and everyone wore what his particular crowd thought was fashionable. Some new and continuing styles preferred by the students included the new, rugged western wear, such as plaid shirts and skirts, knee-knockers, ties, ruffled shirts, vests, suede jackets, and boots. Since everyone has their own special definition of fashion, a vivid spectrum of style is created every year. School clothe are often warm and stylish. Sharon Dalton. Jeanette Harris and Mary Bradford enjoy time away from class. Designer jeans and corduroys are just some of the fashions worn by Kathi Newton and Dawn Mason. Fashion 13 “Being selected Homecoming Queen hew made my senior year very special.” This statement from Ann Gaylon McAdams summed up her feelings about being named Homecoming Queen. The coronation climaxed a week of activities sponsored by the Student Council, October 26-30. The Homecoming Week activities varied from past years, but proved to be as remarkable as ever. Mrs. Brenda Bettis's classes sold corsages during the week and delivered them on Friday during first and second period so the receiver could display them during the ceremony and the game that night. Throughout the course of the week, a broad view of NHS was revealed. Nashville High School witnessed an invasion on Hunting and Military Day. Rebels and radicals from the years of our birth reappeared on Sixties Day. Queen Ann wait patiently for her grand entrance. Queen Ann McAdame makes her speech to the NHS student body. Ann’s special day Panther hunting season opens Wednesday, resembling a church wedding, was designated as Dress-up Day. Looking like the set of “General Hospital,” students dressed as doctors and nurses participated in Hurt the Panthers Day on Thursday. Orange-and-Black Day, although occurring every Friday, always brings special significance to the closing of Homecoming week. After the Scrappers defeated Ashdown, couples went to the Homecoming Dance. During the ceremony Queen Ann, escorted by Tim Pedron, was accompanied by Maid of Honor Kim Britton and her escort Anthony Whitmore. Senior classmaid Brenda Bissell, and her escort Lloyd Renfrow; Junior classmaid Kelley Dildy, escorted by Wayne Taylor; and Kristie Hudson and Garland White, her escort; plus 40 other maids and their escorts participated in the Homecoming activity. This year in America proved to be extra special to foreign exchange students. Kati Raita and Pedro Naranjo. Kati was chosen as sr. maid by Markell Parker and Pedro escorted Tammy Croy. When asked about her first reaction to being selected Homecoming Queen, Ann said, “I couldn’t believe it! I was very excited and very surprised. Ann wanted to thank Mrs. Stuckey and the football team for making her senior year something she will never forget. The Homecoming court include David Ackley. Patta Henderson. Chris Tolliver.

Guys began saving their money to take that special girl out and treat her to carnival rides and to win the coveted stuffed animals. Agri students started taking extra care of their work to be judged. The annual Howard County Fair began September 9 with the Fair Parade, an exciting event for everyone who took part in it. There was fierce competition for the prizes awarded to the best decorated cars and vehicles. The 1981 Fair Queen, Kelley Lovelis, was admired by everyone. The winners on the decorated cars and vehicles were first place, NHS cheerleaders; second place, NJHS cheerleaders; tied for third, the Nashville senior class and Mineral Springs Junior High cheerleaders. David Harding, Randy Lewis, and Alan Wakefield take some time off in the shade. NHS students really shone with outstanding artwork and animals. The enthusiasm displayed by all was indescribable. Everyone who participated in the events was, in a sense, a winner. Animals were judged in the following ways: their appearance, bone structure, height, and proportion. The winners included: light market bar-rows: third place Joe Paul Tomerlin; light steers: second place Alan Wakefield, first place Skipper Davis; medium steers: first place Kenneth Mikulek, second place David Harding, and Jim Bob Hockaday; heavy steers: Randy Lewis first, Danny Raulerson, second; cattle showmanship: first place Danny Raulerson; junior heifers six-twelve months: Joe Lewis, first. In the high school art division there were several winners from NHS. This division was divided into different categories such as string art, free hand pencil, water colors, and pen and ink. Joe Lewis received a blue ribbon in the string art division. Stephanie House, Jennifer Young, and Eddie Williams entered the division of free hand pencils. Jennifer received blue and red ribbons for her work, Stephanie received one white and one red ribbon, and Eddie received one red. Eddie also entered the pen and ink contest. Gaylon Couch won first place with her scratch board drawing, and went on to win at the Four States Fair in Texarkana. Mr. Hollis Hughes, junior high art teacher, won the Sweepstakes Prize in his division. He also won first place in the Four States Fair. No matter what the circumstances were, everyone had a great time at the fair, and they left looking forward to next year s fair, hoping it would be even better. The final preparations are made for the livestock show by Danny Raulerson and Tammy Lockeby. Constant care is a big responsibility for livestock owners Danny Raulerson and Randy Lewis. Fair Weather 17 Money talks Saying ‘Hello,’ saying ‘Goodbye’ Money!!! Everyone needs it and wants it. Many students found working after school and on weekends quite demanding on their time, but financially rewarding. Some worked to help expand their income, some to save money for a car, and some to support expensive tastes and habits. Sophomore Kristie Hudson worked because being a cheerleader and involved in other activities, her mom can’t support her alone. She enjoyed her job very much. Kristie said. ”1 like being around different people.” She planned to continue working in order to go to college and become a psychologist. Kevin Chesshir, a junior, worked on Saturdays and Sundays at Big T. Kevin enjoyed earning money and spending the money. He cooked and cleaned up when working nights. He replied about his job, ‘‘It’s fairly easy although at times it’s hard when there's a lunch crowd or buses come in.” Sophomore Todd Castleman worked after school and on Saturdays at M W Thriftway as a stockman and a grocery sacker. Todd liked to work, and liked having extra money in his pockets. He had his eyes set on a certain set of wheels, which he hoped to be able to afford. He awaited the weekend to spend the money at ball games, J J, or the movies. Jim Hamilton, a senior, worked at Quality Shoe Store as a salesman after school and on Saturdays. He wanted extra money to pay for a truck and the fast lanes. Jim compared the shoe business and school by saying, ‘‘I think shoes and Scrappers have one thing in common. It’s not because they both start with ‘s’, but. they both stink after practice.” Pizza Hut employee Jeannette Harris enjoyed her work. She saved her money for college where she planned to study computer programming. The extra money went to car payments and entertainment. Steve Graves, a junior, did darkroom work for the family-owned Nashville News. Steve’s plans were to go to college at the University of Arkansas. Steve didn't plan on doing darkroom work, but if he comes back to Nashville there’s a possibility he will. Students had lots of reasons for wanting extra money. Some were routine, some unusual. Whether they were printing pictures or stocking shelves, students found that part - time jobs provided the extra cash to take out a special girl or boost the family's income.

Jobs 19 Displaying various habits, students find pleasurable ways to spend the lunoh hour. The “K. C. Munchin craze hit and was found to be habit forming. Drumming his fingers, Markell Paker shows his interest in a magazine. 80 8tudent Life From ordinary to outrageous Habits aren’t just nail-biting and gum-chewing Have you ever been sitting in a classroom where everyone is moving their feet, legs, or hands with reciprocal movement? Why do people do this? Well, not only this but many other unintentional habits are monotonous, and most people don’t even realize they have these habits. “When I walk in the house the first thing I do is turn on the T.V.,” stated Mr. Mike Walker, an English teacher at Nashville High, “even though I probably won’t watch it.” Does everyone have habits? The answer is yes. Some people have more than others. Mrs. Kathi Ellis, Mr. Dawson’s secretary said, “When I get home from school I immediately load and unload the dishwasher and all the while I’m day-dreaming of fishing on the Green River in Wyoming or cuddling up on my rocking chair with a good book. This can get to be a habit.” Can you think of someone who is always spending money? Senior Ronnie McFadden said, “I spend money like it is going out of style; as soon as I get it, I start thinking of spending it.” Even though some people's habits are worse than others, what would people do with their time if they didn’t have habits? One person's most unusual habit was “always wanting to pick a fight” with his girl friend and “then kiss and make-up.” Some habits are more noticeable than others. Sophomore Bonnie Morrison said, “I have a habit of saying ‘you know’ when I am telling someone something.” Some students said they are always chewing gum. This can get to be rather expensive. Just think, if a person chews just two pieces of gum a day, that would be seven hundred and thirty pieces of gum a year. What about the dreaded biting of the nails? “I have a problem of always keeping my fingernails off,” said Melissa Fatheree, s sophomore. Teaching the same thing year after year can become habitual for teachers. Students often go home and talk about something they were taught in school and an older brother or sister will say the same teacher taught them the exact material. Someone playing with their hair, fluffing it, twisting it, or just brushing it is a habit you can observe daily. “I am always either playing with my necklaces, rings, or bracelets, ’’ said sophomore Rhonda Hubbard. People who talk a lot may make it a habit. Markell Parker, a senior, said, “I talk a lot because I always have something to say on a lot of subjects.” Habits will probably always be around. People who get tired of these will just have to live with them, and understand they can’t always be helped. Doodling helps keep this student' mind occupied and out of trouble during an idle time in claas. 22 Student Life Keeping track of time What keeps us going As someone has said. “I have places to go and people to see.” How did everyone get to where they were going on time? They used something every household had, a clock. Clocks came in all styles, shapes and kinds. There was the clock radio which would wake you up to music, the regular alarm clock and the wind-up and the battery operated; the now-famous alarm watches could play “Dixie” and other famous tunes. If you had brothers and sisters, they would play practical jokes such as unplugging the electric clock, taking the batteries and hiding them, or turning up the volume on a clock radio. We either ended up waking up to “Physical” playing on the radio or not waking up at all. Students who didn't have alarm clocks had a problem. Their parents would have to get them up out of bed, although their parents sometimes came and dragged them out. There was also a different sound for students and that sound was the tune of the bell. Students were always waiting for the bell to ring so they could either go home or go to lunch. After the 1981 football season the players would get out at 2:15 and the seniors who had releases could leave and go home, but most went to work. Never once did anyone stop looking at the clocks or asking what time it was. Clocks have always had an importance. We have often taken them for granted. One beautiful morning when you're on time to school thank the alarm clock, but if you're running late either go buy batteries or wind the clock. One person said, “We couldn't make it without some kind of clock around our house because we’re always running late.” A display of some of the newest clocks shows models that buzz, play music, and flash on and off. The sound of a buzzing alarm at 6 a m. is more Although most students weren’t quite so violent, than some can stand. a hammer sometimes seemed necessary to stop the noise. Alarm Clocks 83 “Fame wu voted the most popular T.V. series by NHS students. Billy Hockaday looks over the current hits in the record department. A PARAMOUNT PICTURE HARRISON FORO KAREN ALLEN The ultimate hero in the ultimate adventure. The favorite movie of the NH8 students was “Raiders of the Lost Ark . Listening to music is a way Tony Lyons has found to relax 24 Student Life What’s entertainment? ‘Did you see . . How did students from NHS fill in their free time from weekend to weekend? For those lucky students who had no homework there were many choices of things to do. A lot of kids felt like relaxing to the sound of their favorite group or song on the stereo. Though the preferences of the students varied greatly, some preferring the mellow sounds of Journey’s “Open Arms, others the country sound of Alabama, others rocking to the beat of AC DC, there was hardly anyone who felt that listening to music wasn’t a great way to spend his time. Senior Jay Mitchell said, “It relaxes me. Some students found that when they felt depressed, certain songs could pick their spirits up. The radio was always a good source of entertainment for quiet times spent alone or for partying with friends. Jay said he liked the radio because “it’s not as limited as T.V. I ' Derringer'' members Tim King (on drums), Scotty Floyd. Andy Lathrop (baas guitar). Steve Sbankles (lead guitar), and Greg Westfall (rhythm guitar) perform during the Student Council Valentine talent contest. always find something I like to listen to. Some students thought it made even homework seem more pleasant. However, there was more to a radio than turning it on and listening, as Scott Dunson, a senior at NHS, found out. He worked at Nashville’s local radio station. KBHC, after school. He said he enjoyed working there. “It’s easier than a regular job. I get to sit down a lot, and it’s better than a job where I’d have to do manual labor. Thursday night found the majority of the students watching Fame, which was voted the favorite T.V. series by NHS students. Stacy White, a Fame fan, said she thought the show appealed to so many people at NHS because “the characters in the show are close to our age and we can relate to them because we have many of the same problems. But more and more students were turning off the T.V. and turning on the video games. Video games such as Pac-Man, Pinball. Space Invaders, and Donkey Kong became a big source of entertainment, and the popular song “Pac-Man Fever demonstrated this. Movies were still popular, as well, and the most popular movie of year was “Raiders of the Lost Ark. Several students saw it more than once, they enjoyed it so much the first time. Mike Spigner said. “It always kept me on the edge of my seat. It’s the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. Raiders also did very well at the Academy Awards, being nominated for several Oscars, including special effects. All of the students’ entertainment didn't come from Hollywood or New York, though. There were several local entertainers, such as the popular band Derringer. “Derringer performed such numbers as Another Brick in the Wall, “Old Flame, and other favorites at several school functions, to the delight of many students. Such entertainment helped make the year a little easier, and provided topics for many conversations. At any given time there could usually be heard, Did you see ...

In one of the skits Marvin Johnaon portrays Coach Bill Thigpen. 26 Student Life Times of your life Moments to remember The brightly decorated cafeteria dressed in lively pink with white candles, pink tablecloths and different colors of umbrellas and flowers set the stage for the long awaited Junior-Senior Banquet May 22. For many students the banquet was a night to be remembered. The junior class presented to the seniors “Times of Your Life. ' This was a special time for all seniors to take one look back on all their past accomplishments. The program consisted of the invocation led by Bryan Chesshir, a welcome by junior class President Donnie Parrish and the acceptance speech by the senior class President Robert Bennett. The menu consisted of steak, baked potatoes, cream style corn, bread and butter, cake and iced tea cooked by Donna Carozza and Ruth Wilson. For the first time in several years a select group of sophomores were asked to serve at the banquet and help clean up afterwards. The junior class presented a skit and then did prophesies for most of the seniors. After the banquet they held a prom in the gym with entertainment by a disc jockey from Y-102. Although it was a special night there were a few tears shed, but all in all it was a night to be remembered forever. Th« cImi sponsors Mrs. Brenda McLaughlin and Mrs. Joy Johnaon look pleased with the smooth running of the banquet. Seniors nervously await their prophesies presented by the juniors.

Cindy Reed, Mike Spigner, Vic Harding, Jana Witherspoon, Eddie Brown. Brenda Archer, Greg Slilavan, Jim Hamilton. Mac Carlton, and Jay Mitchell. The lights dim and the curtain slowly opens on a patio at the Hope Springs Nursing Home. Seated in a lawn chair is Theodore Lump (Mike Spigner) resting on his cane and being lightly dusted by Ida (Brenda Archer), the clean-up lady. The 1982 senior play, held April 16, was as amusing if not more than last year’s. Under the direction of senior class sponsors Mrs. Jan Ponder and Mrs. Mary Frances Spigner, 20 cast members and numerous stage hands presented “Hope Springs Eternal at Nashville Elementary Auditorium. The residents of Hope Springs are incredibly old and the Social Security office smells something fishy. Mr. Baggot (Oreg Sillivan) thinks that many of the residents are dead and the home is cashing in on their social security checks. Baggot sends Howard Elliot (Jeff Riley) to investigate. The curtain closes and the crowd is relaxing and talking among themselves. Suddenly, in a voice shrill and sharp . .. “Alfred!?!! A little old lady (Mary Bradford) upsets the audience in her fruitless search for her husband. Howard finds Hope Springs to be quite unusual. It is regarded by the residents as a sovereign nation under their queen Eleanor the First (Ann McAdams). Queen Eleanor decrees that the next social activity after their Halloween dance will be a butterfly chase at the request of “Prince Max (Jim Hamilton), heir to the throne. Howard arrives during the chase and meets the lovely Jill Scott (Kelley Lovelis). Their conversation is interrupted by a frail butterfly seeker, the “countess” Blanche (Tammy Combes), who is a hypochondriac. After the queen's court returns from the hunt, the handsome Howard is spied upon by “Princess” Billie (Jana Witherspoon) who is dressed as a butterfly to capture the attention of the “Duke,” Robert E. Lee Sherman (Vic Harding). The play progresses as snoopy Howard tries to find the secret of the courtiers’ advanced age, which he thinks is in the water. After many attempts to prove this he finds that the only chemical in the water is sulfur. After learning of this, Sylvia Shafer (Teresa Rowe) tries to convince her mother, the rowdy “Lady Rusty Russell (Brenda Bissell) to come and live with her. But Mrs. Shafer’s daughter, Penelope (Anita Shelton) makes a nuisance of herself and convinces Rusty otherwise. The resident doctor, Maud Grimm (Cindy Reed), reveals that the only thing that has sustained the patients was the fact that they could still pretend in their kingdom and hold important positions. The Hope Springs residents have believed that the water hew kept them alive and when Howard proves otherwise Queen Eleanor suddenly passes out. The curtain closes once again and emcee Markell Parker announces the result of a ticket lottery. Who is the winner? Way back in the back a grandmotherly-type lady raises her hand. Ushers Mac Carlton and Jay Mitchell hurry the slow Mrs. Elvira Hoffmeyer (Cherie Keeney) to the front. She has won a hibachi. A hibachi? Oh, yes! Mrs. Hoffmeyer proceeds to relate the story of her Hawaiian vacation and is quickly whisked off-stage. The curtain opens. Prince Max is almost ready to take the throne when the supposedly deceased Queen Eleanor arrives on the scene in a funeral home shroud and reprimands H.T. Scott, (Eddie Brown), Jill’s father and the local mortician, for mistaking death with a common fainting spell. With her return, the home is back to normal. Howard and Jill realize their love and, to coin a phrase ”... they lived happily ever after.” The curtain closes. 28 Student Life Rusty Russell shows nurse Jill her new Sunday-going-to-meeting hat. Penelope struggles to wake the sleeping Theodore Lump. Dr. Grimm and Queen Eleanor discuss her citizenship in the kingdom. Mr. Bag got wheels Queen Eleanor around the room near the close of the play.

Surprises ranging from heavy suitcases to centerfolds were some of the unexpected laughs in the junior class play. The junior play cast members, along with their sponsors. Mrs. Joy Johnson and Mrs. Brenda McLaughlin, spent two hard weeks of practice before presenting the play on March 12. When Mrs. Joseph Martin (Sharia Robertson) made her family and servants, Johnson (Clint Bedwell) and Harriet (Debra McCrary) promise to tell nothing but the truth, she had no idea that the results would be so complicated. Everything in the Martin household ran smoothly enough until, on the servants’ day off, Mr. Martin (Donnie Parrish) suddenly received word that an impressionable business associate, Mr. Mundorf (Billy Hockaday), was coming — and Mr. Martin had to impress him with many servants in order to get a badly needed loan. The Martin children, Johnny (Bryan Chesshir) and Elizabeth (Kelly Dildy) came to their father’s aid by agreeing to act as the chauffeur and the maid. Aunt Helen, Mr. Martin's sister (Susan Cox) took over the cook’s duties, and the local pastor. Reverend Teasle (Marvin Johnson) was converted into the butler! But then Johnny’s sweetheart, Lucille Armitage (Deanna Waddle), and Elizabeth’s sweetheart, Tom DeN-orth (Doug McCrary), arrived unannounced, as did Mrs. Martin’s wealthy Aunt Mat (Patty Green), who disliked servants! Despite the countless complica- tions caused by “The Whole Truth,” everything was resolved with the engagements of Johnny and Lucille, Tom and Elizabeth, and Johnson and Harriet. Aunt Mat even came to an understanding with Mr. Martin, and gave him the money he needed. The juniors were assisted by seniors Jim Hamilton, Jeff Riley, and Kenny Wilkins in constructing the props and backdrops. Behind-the-scenes help was provided by Deborah Swann, Shela Hartsell, Kevin Chesshir, and Debbie Hughes. Everyone managed to survive the practical jokes and frenzied last-minute preparations, and the play made it through opening night with few problems. 30 Student Life “How many times have I told you not to call me Johnny, said Johnson the butler (Clint Bedwell) to Harriet the maid (Debra McCrary).

Earnest pleading by Mr. Martin (Donnie Parrish) with his children (Bryan Cheeshir and Kelly Dlldy) is a real tear-jerker for Reverend Teasle (Marvin Johnson).

They were a welcome break from the long days of work, work, work. They allowed students to let go and let out all the noise they had to keep inside while in class all day. Some assemblies were rousing, some entertaining, and some merely informative. On the first day of school students met in the gym for a talk from Principal Bill Dawson and Victor Harding, president of the Student Council. Sophomores were made aware of the rules and regulations governing the campus, and returning juniors and seniors were reminded in case they had forgotten over the summer! Pep rallies helped energize students and bring them closer together, especially when they were cheering the Scrappers on to another victory. Each class attempted to yell the roof off the gym when battling for the spirit stick. Behind every pep rally were the cheerleaders, working to please their classmates. Senior cheerleader Kathleen Jones said, The pep rallies were more fun when the students participated. On the few occasions when the students didn’t have as much spirit. they seemed to last forever.” All the hard work really paid off, however. Senior Scrapper Chris Tolliver said, Pep rallies were helpful in getting me psyched up for the games. Coach Charles Carozza said, The cheerleaders just do not realize how much they help in the pep rallies. We coaches really appreciate the hard work and dedication they have shown during the whole year, not just during football season. We coudn’t have been successful without their hard work.” The band played an important role in the pep rallies, also. Sophomore Carol Ann Clark, a member of the flag corps, said, My favorite thing about the pep rallies is when the cheerleaders ask us to twirl! It’s so exciting to hear everybody yell for us.” For entertainment, the Student Council found enough local talent to have a talent contest. The idea was so well-liked, the cheerleaders decided to take the winners of the contest and put on a money-raising show. These shows were popular with almost everyone. Dee Harding, a junior, said, I think that the talent shows are good because they reflect some of the talent from our high school.” Tracy Hardin and Rhonda Hubbard, both sophomores, voiced the same thought: People got to express their talent and we got out of class!” As the school year came to a close, a special assembly was called for the Student Council elections. Old Student Council officers Victor Harding, Teresa Grundy, and Jana Witherspoon gave up their positions to Marti Hood, Rhonda Hubbard, and Kelly Dildy after speeches from the candidates and voting. School ended with an awards assembly at which students received recognition for various accomplishments. In all, almost everyone agreed all the assemblies added something to campus life. Some students felt there weren’t enough assemblies. but teachers felt that there were enough to provide the right balance between classwork and relaxation. Mrs. Mary Frances Spigner, advanced math teacher, said, I think that our assemblies should make more use of our student talent. I think the students are more receptive to assemblies that have student talent.” Id the cheerleader-sponsored talent show, the cheerleaders aid Principal Bill Dawson and Praise Medley In showing their patriotism.

Flashing across the stage. Kelley Lovells presents Ma, He's Making Eyes at Me. ' Reaching for a star Makes no difference who you are After many hard hours of practice for the Miss NHS pageant, which was entitled. Reach for the Stars, the big evening arrived March 27. It began with the ladies modeling their choices in sportswear. Each contestant came alone and then appeared with the entire group. There was a frantic rush in the dressing room as the girls prepared for each area of competition. They were judged in four categories including: sportswear, talent, evening dresses, and an earlier interview with judges Burt Lace, Marcia Ramirez, and Mac Sisson. They asked the contestants about their personal interests and reasons for being in the pageant. They were graded on their answers and the result was figured into each contestant’s score. The finalists had yet another part in the Miss NHS Pageant. They were each asked a question, and they were graded on how well they answered. Last of all came the tears, hugs. kisses, and the long awaited awards. This year the winners were Miss Congeniality Lenee Holloway, second runner-up Jana Witherspoon, talent winner and first runner-up Deanna Waddle, and Miss NHS Cindy Reed. When asked how it felt to be the reigning Miss NHS, Cindy replied, “I think it’s the best thing that’s happened to me in my high school years. I’m proud to represent NHS.” The intermission entertainment was presented by Matt Van Horn and Praise Medley. Kelley Lovelis also did her version of “He’s Making Eyes at Me.” The Miss NHS Pageant was sponsored by Quill and Scroll, which used the money for journalism department projects. The journalism department worked quite a long time preparing and setting up the stage. They also set up the stage in between talents. Miss NHS 35 Who is who in ’82? NHS elite The March 12 edition of the Tattler revealed the results of the Who’s Who selection conducted by the Scrapper staff. Students picked Todd Feemster and Ann McAdams as their choice of Mr. and Miss NHS. Each class also voted for their class favorite, and the people they thought were wittiest, most athletic, and friendliest. Those chosen in the sophomore class for these categories were Lesley Watson, friendliest; C. W. Walker, most athletic; Brent Chalker, wittiest; and Jim Bob Hockaday, class favorite. Juniors in Who’s Who were friendliest Linda Hardin, most athletic Johnny Johnson, and wittiest Steven Graves. The juniors chose Kelly Dildy for class favorite. Sixteen students were chosen in the seniors only categories. Those chosen for most handsome and most beautiful were Bryan Harris and Brenda Bissell. Friendliest seniors were Donny Goodner and Ann McAdams. Lloyd Renfrow and Brenda Bissell were selected as class favorites. Wittiest selections were Scott Dunson and Jamie Porter.

Beyond Description When one looks back on “good old golden school days,” what is the most memorable? The school building? The teachers? The ball games? The organizations? Of course one remembers the people. What would school be without the many characters of which it is made? One remembers the class clown, the friendliest students, the most popular people and the most disliked students. Many students “developed” characters which would always keep them in their classmates’ minds. The mixture of people at NHS was remarkable. Besides the students who had lived in Nashville all or most of their lives, and the students who had recently been transferred, there were four exchange students who added understanding of different cultures to the campus. Two of these pupils, Mauricio Aldea and Pedro Narajo, were from Chile. Kati Raita was from Finland and Miki Hirota, Japan. There were basically two group of students. The “brains” were the people who generally made good grades and were involved in many educational activities. The other group, the “jocks,” were frequently out of class because of ball games. These students were usually behind and always struggling to get caught up. These interesting students and the unusually thoughtful teachers helped everyone make it through the year with more ease.

A month before graduation a senior, when asked if he was ready to leave high school, said, “No!” Two weeks later that same senior was asked the same question. The answer? “Yes!!!” But when the seniors thought back over the year, all the hard work of the last few weeks were forgotten — well, almost. Some seniors could remember only the work: the reading, the writing, the memorizing .. . Mrs. Neva Byrd had her English classes reading MacBeth” and Les Miserables and memorizing poetry, but what her advanced class remembered was “the fourth period rat.” Students of Coach Tommy DeB-lack's history classes remembered memorizing the capitals of countries — “although I don’t see much good in it. They change every two years anyway,” said one frank senior who wished to remain unnamed — and memorizing music — to “add culture to their lives. The seniors participated in three money-making projects during the year to raise funds for the senior dance. The first of these was the senior play. Several seniors, as well as class sponsors Mrs. Mary Frances Spigner and Mrs. Jan Ponder, worked hard to make the play a success. Some called it a “pain, although almost every one admitted they had a good time putting it on. The seniors also sponsored a movie, which was shown at the Elberta theater. This was a popular project, as it got the students out of classes for part of the day. The slave auction was a greatly-anticipated event for the seniors who participated in it. Seniors were sold to the highest bidders and were their slaves for a day. The bids opened at $2.00 and went up to $37 for Mrs. Ponder. The buyers thought up all sorts of embarrassing punishments, such as making the boys wear dresses and the girls clean with toothbrushes.

These students went to Arkadelphia for a week to learn about their government. Upon arrival each student learned that he was separated from the others from his school. Everyone was roomed with students they had never met from other schools. Cindy Reed, a delegate to Girls’ State, said, “It was a lot of fun. I had a good time. You get to meet so many people.” The boys, however, said their experiences were “too military.’’ They got up at 5:30 for calisthenics and “had to do push-ups if we got on the grass,” recalled Mike Spigner. Delegates attended many meetings, learning about leadership. Ann McAdams remembered one meeting that she was in that “got a little boring; it lasted so long.” Robert Bennett said, “It’s not any fun if you don’t get involved.” Cindy said, “They kept us going from 7:30 in the morning to 10:30 p.m. Every minute we had free, we ran to our rooms and took naps.” The delegates all learned a lot about government and leadership, and had a good time as well. Ann said, “The first two days seemed like two weeks. The last four days didn’t last long enough.” Boys' and Girls’ 8tat« members are: Scott Elder. Robert Bennett. Eddie Brown, Mike Spigner.

This talented young man performed each Friday night during football season as a soloist in the band. Playing the trumpet, he entertained the fans at half time with a lively rendition of “On Broadway. But others knew him also as a concert pianist. “He’s magnificent,” said Andrea Young, a junior and fellow music student. Scott began taking music lessons from Mrs. Cleone Goss when he was in the second grade. “I liked listening to piano music when I was younger and wanted to learn how to play the piano,” Scott said. He went to the national Guild Auditions, where he received a Superior +, the highest rating given by judges at the contest. He played fifteen sonatinas and earned a gold medallion of Mozart. Scott performed in several recitals and concerts. He practiced especially hard when preparing for a recital. “I get nervous when I first start, but once I get into it I’m all right,” he said about his performances. He also mentioned that Mrs. Goss was an invaluable aid. “She helped me a lot and worked overtime.” Mrs. Goss said, “He has always loved good music and has worked at it. He is a very fine boy and well-liked by friends.” Scott’s favorite pianist was Vladimir Horowitz, because “he is the only great composer still alive.” Scott said his music was very important to him, and he planned to continue his studies at the University of Arkansas. He hoped for a music-related career — “Teaching music, maybe,” he said. Scott Elder pauses for a smile during his solo recital at the First Baptist Church.

If you weren’t a sophomore lost in the new experience of high school, and you weren’t a senior wondering if there’s life after high school, you were probably a junior. But the life of the middleman was not all dull. The 1981-82 junior class was a buzz of activity this year. Juniors took part in banquets, ring purchases, and many other things.

Many a junior remembers the smiling face of Herff-Jones representative, Gordon Hale, and the “mere” unimaginable sum each paid for his ring. The day each junior received his ring set them busy to the task of getting someone to turn their ring. Finding someone to turn your ring for the eighty-third time is no easy task. The sale of the rings to the tenth graders was an issue of controversy among the school board. Many felt that the rings should be an honor reserved for the seniors. As a result, sophomores will no longer order rings. That right will be reserved for the juniors. Rings will be delivered to them in their senior year. Next year the sophomores will be turning their rings eighty-four times and the year after that, eighty-five, and so on.

Many activities kept the eleventh-graders busy throughout the year. The junior play, held March 12, was eagerly awaited by the students who tried out and landed parts in the play. The Whole Truth” involved a rich family whose head was put into a tight spot for stretching the truth. Four eleventh graders were chosen to represent Nashville High at Girls’ State and Boys’ State. Fred Holston and Terry Bissell were delegates to Boys’ State and Marti Hood and Lori Aylett were chosen for Girls’ State. Many juniors sold drinking mugs to cover the expenses of the junior-senior banquet and the additional costs of the junior play. The sales were only slightly hindered by fund-raising projects of other organizations. Juniors gave the seniors a look at their high school careers at the junior-senior banquet May 22. The theme “Times of Your Life presented the juniors and their versions of the seniors' time in school.

That was the story of the sophomore class. They went from the new junior high to the old, but new high school. But the sophomores were undaunted. The new clews settled into the swing of things with the confidence and Scrapper pride they were known for in junior high. Football season and the first pep rally found the new sophomore receiving the coveted Spirit Stick. The juniors and seniors soon learned this was to become a regular event. The sophomore class was a combination of academic ability, a good sense of humor, and loads of athletic ability. NHS was softly sprinkled with sophomores in every category except Honor Society and Quill and Scroll where sophomores were ineligible. There were people in the band, FBLA, FFA, FHA, yearbook and Tattler staff, Library Club, French Club, Student Council, and last but not least track, basketball, baseball, tennis, and football. Besides beating the class of 1980 for being the largest class in quite a few years, the sophomores were the strongest class academically. One quarter of the sophomore class was listed on the Principal’s List, Honor Roll, and Merit List, outdoing the seasoned juniors and seniors. The sophomores also seemed to be more competitive in the class as a whole. But competition was especially fierce against the other two classes, though they proved their worth by winning many of the different contests during the school year.

Sophomores 56 An everlasting memory A special person with a special smile “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5) Every time those words are read a special person comes to mind, Dedra Melson. Dedra and her mother died in a tornado April 24. Dedra was indeed a very special person. She had a beauty about her that radiated from within and spread to everyone she knew. One senior wrote about her: “Beauty is a word that fit her well. She had a smile that would brighten anyone's day, and always laughing and in a good mood. Some look for beauty in faces, but beauty is more than skin deep. Beauty is personality, love of people and the way you act. Beauty is something she had and we will always remember this beauty whose smile and personality made many friends.” When Dedra died everyone felt a great loss. She was nlore than a friend to all; she was an example. She was at peace with herself and wanted to spread it to everybody she knew. Even though she was only 16 she had lived a full life. She had her goals set up and she never took her eyes off them. She was an active member of the Library Club, 8crapper and Tattler staff, FHA and Chess Club. She was also active in the First Baptist Church. She took part in everything and managed to give it her complete attention. There is no possible way to sum up her life. Words just seem to be insignificant. But somewhere along the line she experienced 16 birthdays, ten and a half years of school, and numerous friends. Going beyond this, she must surely have experienced summer rains, winter snowfalls and a hundred beautiful sunsets. What makes it so sad then? Maybe it’s the realization that all of her dreams won’t come true. Maybe it’s the fact that she missed a lot of enjoyable things. She didn’t know the satisfaction of being a senior, the thrill of graduation, the beautiful poignancy of falling in love, the sheer ecstasy of living. Maybe it’s just the emptiness she left behind. Her constant help without complain, her ceaseless smile and radiant personality are priceless. They are a loss that cannot be redeemed. But Dedra lives on in the minds of us all; to forget her would be to accomplish the impossible. Dedra is better off now than the rest of us — and that is our only consolation at losing her. But we will still miss her. She brightened up the lives of those who knew her. That helped to make her life worthwhile. So, Dedra, if you can read this right now — “Here’s looking at you, kid.” Cristie Hobbs Jim Bob Hockaday Stan Hockaday Lenee Holloway Rhonda Hubbard Kristi Hudson Gary Hughes Jim bo Jackson Lori Jacobs Darrsll Jefferson Randy Jefferson Kim Johnson Nadine Johnson Debra Jones Tammy Keaster 56 People Laughing eyes and that unforgettable grin keep on showing as Dedr a Melson smiles her way through another day.

But identical twins Stacy and Tracy Hardin were not the only cause of dismay for teachers at NHS. There were also the Lyons brothers, Eddy and Tony. What would it be like to be a twin? People often asked themselves that question, but they never really came up with an answer. Being a twin, obviously, was a unique situation, in that there could be someone walking around that looks a lot like you and has the same interests and ideas that you have! Weird? Not at all!!! There were two sets of twins in the sophomore class, neither of which seemed to mind the situation at all. Tony and Eddy are not identical Twice the fun twins at all. Tony said, “I don't know what it is like not being a twin. I just think of him as a brother. Tony is the older, being born four minutes before Eddy. Tony and Eddy would come closer as far as looks go by being cousins or something. “You can tell by our pictures that we look nothing alike, says Eddy, but some people still get our names mixed up.’ Both are planning to attend college after graduation. Tracy and Stacy Hardin are identical twins. “I don't feel any different. I just think of her as a sister, says Tracy. Stacy is the older of the two. They both are members of the band and are both on the flag line. So if you happen to see one of the twins in the hall be sure to say Hi! to Eddy and Stacy ... or wait a minute is it Tony and Tracy?

Mrs. Byrd’s spare time is usually in the summers and her summers are always full of activities of all sorts. Some summers she stays in the United States and other summers she travels to other countries. At home Mrs. Byrd likes to keep her lawn mowed and keep some kind of vegetation growing in her garden even though she does not have a green thumb. She also enjoys doing needlework. sewing, refinishing furniture, and reading a lot of books. When Mrs. Byrd is not at home she does a great deal of traveling. So far Mrs. Byrd has traveled to more than fifteen countries which are mostly in Europe. Her talent for French and a little Spanish help her a lot in her travels. Mrs. Byrd likes to learn as much as possible about different people and their cultures. Mrs. Byrd is planning to do more traveling in the future. Mrs. Neva Byrd could be one of the busiest teachers around. She teaches English to the seniors and French to other high school students. She said that the one difference between her French students and her English students is that her French students seem to have the tendency of putting French's patterns into English’s patterns. She thought the exchange students at Nashville High School were nice and she enjoyed teaching all four of them. Mrs. Byrd also said that many students here do not use their tool of English properly. They often say “git” or “ain’t” when they know that such words have no use in a student’s vocabulary. She felt that many seniors have finally realized that they can only walk through their high school graduation line one time. They tried to make their last year in high school the most memorable year of all. She enjoyed teaching the seniors and is looking forward to teaching new students. Mrs. Byrd is a person who is constantly on the move and also a lady with a great vast of knowledge.

The spring sports teams had a good season and were honored at the Spring Sports Banquet which was held on May 13. Of all the sports, teachers were bothered mostly by spring sports. Some students were known to miss class two or three times weekly. Overall one could say that the 1981-1982 sports season was definitely a success.

The Scrappers were expected to have a wretched season, but on August 17 the Scrappers decided they were going to do the unexpected. The first day of practice was rainy but they practiced anyway. They spent many hours in the hot sun and at night preparing for the first game. The first game of the year, against Dierks. turned out to be a thriller. The Scrappers had trouble in the first quarter but came through in the third quarter when Lloyd Renfrow returned a punt for a 53 - yard touchdown. The final ended up 13-7. Nashville found out they needed to correct a lot of mistakes. The second game of the season, against Magnolia, was a good experience for the Scrappers. They found out they needed a little more work on their defense and offense. Tim Pedron scored the only touchdown. The Panthers beat Nashville 28-6 but it was a good game. For the fourth time in a row Nashville defeated DeQueen. This was Nashville’s first conference game. In the first quarter DeQueen missed a punt, the ball went into the endzone for a safety, and Nashville led 2-0. In the second quarter Scrapper quarterback Johnny Johnson drilled a seven - yard pass to Timmy Lucas for a score. DeQueen scored in the closing seconds of the second quarter. In the third period Garland White jumped Nashville to 15-6, however, and in the fourth quarter White came through again and the Scrappers settled for a 21-6 victory. “A big step,’ is how Coach Segrest described the game with the Gurdon Go-Devils. Johnson scored first at 10:27 in the second quarter. Nashville then got fired up and decided it was (Cont. on Page 66) On the first day of practice these football boys prepare to run the mile. 64 8ports Coach Thigpen, Coach Carozza, Coach DeBlack. and Coach Segrest confer during the first game of the season Garland White ( 33) outruns Mag against Dierks. nolia's defense.

Johnson threw a 74-yard pass to Renfrow. Renfrow hobbled the ball but ran in for the score. The Scrappers decided to go for two instead of the PAT, and Oarland White took it in, giving the Scrappers the lead. 14-0. White added another score with 11:40 to go in the fourth quarter, putting Nashville on top, 21-0. The last touchdown made one boy a true Scrapper when sophomore C.W. Walker scored his first touchdown and Nashville's victory over Gurdon was 28-0. The most exciting game of the year was Fayetteville. The odds were against Nashville, since Fayetteville was sixth in the state, but the Scrappers, backed by a demanding crowd, were a little too hot to handle. In the second quarter Marvin Williamson made an unbelievable catch to put Nashville in the lead and White picked up two points. In the second half the Bulldogs marched 55 yards on their first possession and started to score but the stingy orange crush defense held the Bulldogs. After 13 plays to take the lead sophomore Mike Morrow booted the extra point. In the fourth quarter Morrow kicked a 33-yard field goal to make the final score 24-14. The next game saw Nashville traveling to McGehee in style on two charter buses. The fans went out and cheered the boys off campus and on the road. Through rain and fog Nashville came through and beat the Owls 21-7. Renfrow caught Johnson's pass and made a touchdown. In the fourth quarter Nashville got on the board with an 11-yard run by Johnson. The last score was a result of blocked punt. Johnson came through again to make the final score 21-7. The next week the Scrappers returned home and obliterated the Camden-Fairview Cardinals by a score of 18-0. Johnson hit Williamson with two touchdown passes in the first and second quarters to make the score 12-0. In the third quarter Renfrow put the icing on the cake with another touchdown to make the score 18-0, which is how it ended. The second defeat of the season came from the Prescott Curly-Wolves. Prescott was in the lead in the third quarter until Nashville started an 85-yard drive high - lighted by key passes by Johnson. The drive ended as Johnson ran around the right side to score. Morrow’s PAT was good and Nashville took the lead. Prescott scored again after the blocked punt as Hector Nasser ran it in from the 15 and the Wolves took the lead. Prescott held the Scrappers and took a 9-7 victory over them. This was Nashville’s first loss in three conferences. The Curly-Wolves later went to DeQueen and were defeated 14-7, which put the Scrappers in the state playoffs. The Scrappers stayed home the following week and zapped the Ashdown Panthers, 28-0, during Homecoming. White ran in Nashville’s first touchdown in the first quarter. Morrow’s PAT made it 7-0 Scrappers. Johnson ran in the Scrappers’ second touch-(Cont. on Page 69) 66 Sporte The stingy orange crush defense Lloyd Renfrow ( 6). Terry Clardy ( 20).

Morrow made it a perfect night by hitting his fourth PAT. It ended up Nashville 28. Ashdown 0. The Scrappers ended regular season play the next week as they were defeated by the Hope Bobcats 20-8. Amidst several questionable calls, the Bobcats scored in the first, second, and third quarters. Johnny Johnson scored Nashville's lone touchdown in the second half. The two point conversion was good and the game ended with the Bobcats in the lead 20-8. The Scrappers began playoff action at home against Marked Tree and defeated the Indians 24-13. The Indians took the early lead but the Scrappers struck back with a touchdown by Garland White in the second quarter. The two point conversion was good and at half the Scrappers led 8-6.

Garland White scored for the Scrappers early in the second quarter, Mike Morrow hit the PAT and the Scrappers led 7-0. The Owls hit back with a touchdown and successful two - point conversion. Nashville retaliated on another touchdown by White and led 13-8. Before the half McGehee added two more touchdowns and another two point conversion to take a 21-13 lead. On the first scrimmage play of the second half White made his third touchdown to bring Nashville within two points, 21-19. Sophomore sensation Mike Morrow hit a 30-yard field goal to bring about another win 22-21. The 1981 Scrapper football season was to be termed a success. The Scrappers were district champs for the fourth year in a row under Coach Gary Segrest. A number of Scrappers were rewarded when post -season honors were handed out. Seven were named All-District, including Terry Clardy, Tim Pedron, Lloyd Renfrow, Steve Staggs, Marvin Williamson, Garland White and Anthony Whitmore. White was named to the All-Star team. The Nashville Rotary Club chose White the most valuable player, and Whitmore was selected as leading tackier. Being as outgunned as they were, the team went up against the odds and pulled off the unexpected season — winning, that is! Football 69 Ambitious season Making it to regionals Although the Scrappers have seen better years, they still made it to the regional tournament. The Scrappers held a 12-13 overall record and a 3-3 conference record. They played hard and with ambition. Tournament action came early in the season for the Scrappers. Coach Bill Thigpen’s team’s first tournament was at the University of Central Arkansas and they didn’t stay long. Mena beat them by one point, 57-56. A few weeks later they played in the Saratoga Tournament. On the opening night they played Okolona and captured an 11-point victory, 55-43. After a delay caused by snow, they returned to Saratoga fired up and ready to face the Prescott Curly Wolves. When the buzzer sounded the score was 50-49 in the Scrappers’ favor. They went back to the finals and met the Gurdon Go-Devils in the first of four games they’d have during the season. Gurdon was hot and ready to win the tourn-ment, taking a 62-56 victory home with them. After the Saratoga Tournament the Scrappers looked forward to starting the conference games. The first one saw another meeting with Gurdon. The Scrappers were a little better prepared for them, but the Go-Devils did it again. They took a one-point victory of 58-57. A rough game at Prescott was the next district action for the Scrappers. The Wolves played hard and won 44-41, handing the team its second conference loss. The Scrappers then traveled to DeQueen and finally brought a win home. They destroyed the Leopards 65-43. In the next conference game the familiar Go-Devils came to town for another win. The Scrappers played a good game but found themselves on the wrong end of the stick during most of the game.

With eight seconds left Garland White dashed down the court to tie the game with one second left on the clock. The stands were roaring with excitement as the game went into overtime. Bad luck struck the Scrappers when several key players fouled out. The Devils had a chance to win and took a 14 point lead back to Gurdon by a score of 55-31. Highpoint man for Nashville was Eric Clardy with 15 points. DeQueen came to Nashville and found the Scrappers upset by the loss to Gurdon. In the first half they took the lead by five points and built on it in the second half to defeat the rival Leopards 66-50. The highpoint man was Marvin Williamson with 18 points. The Scrappers faced their last conference game against the Prescott Curly Wolves. Nashville evened its conference record by beating the Wolves 61-41. The Scrappers then moved to the District Tournament held at DeQueen. They first played the Leopards and won a 63-55 victory. In the second round they faced the Curly Wolves again and marked a 50-45 win. Next came the finals of the District Tournament. They faced the Gurdon Go-Devils one more time. The Scrappers were excited and ready to show what they could do. A bad omen was noticed before the game even started as they received two technical fouls for slam dunking. This foreshadowed what was to come as they fell behind in the first half by nine points. The Scrappers couldn’t catch up and lost by 11 points. The final was 61-50. Nashville was still entitled to go to the State Tournament in Fordyce. In the first round they faced Eudora. The long trip was successful as Nashville won. Then the Scrappers played the Stamps Yellow-Jackets. Nashville led the first half by three points, but the Yellow-Jackets came back in the second half and beat the Scrappers, ending the season. Marvin Williamson and Garland White were selected All-District for Nashville. Gurdon eventually made it to the finals of the overall tournament where they played Little Rock Hall. The Devils beat the Warriors by one point and became the State Champions. The Scrappers played a hard, tough season and finished with a 12-13 record. They are expected to have a better season next year. The 1981-82 Scrappers include Greg White, (back) Coach Bill Garland White. (Photo by the (front): Steve Roes, manager. Terry Thigpen.

It was said that the girls wouldn't even make it to the District Tournament, but they surprised the fans and had a 14-11 record. The team got off to a perfect 5-0 record early in the season. They also played in two different tournaments before starting district action. At the Joe T. Robinson Tournament they evened the score with Highland by defeating them 48-40. This came a week after the football game. After beating Highland they took on Wynne, which gave the girls a lot of competition and defeated them 58-48. The next tournament was the Louisiana Classic at Bossier City. They had a short visit as they played Campti and were defeated in the opening game 55-51. After returning to Nashville, the Scrapperettes played a few games before advancing to conference action. They played Qurdon in the first district game. The some Scrapperettes looked good in the first half, holding a 27-25 lead at halftime. When they came out in the second half they seemed to forget where they were and the lady Go-Devils took over the game, outshooting the Scrapperettes by 10%. Brenda Archer was the high scorer for the night. The Scrapperettes lost to the Lady Go-Devils by a score of 46-31. The Scrapperettes lost their second conference game to Prescott. The girls looked real good in the beginning, but lost their touch later and fell to Prescott 33-28. Nashville traveled to DeQueen and brought their first conference victory home with them by a score of 42-26. The Lady Go-Devils came to Scrapper Gym with two outstanding shooters, and they were too much for the Scrapperettes to handle. Coach Jan Segrest said, “If Nashville had had fewer mistakes they could have (continued on p. 76) Brenda Hughes (62) scores two The basketball girls line up to be points in the District Tournament introduced at the Qurdon pep rally, against Qurdon. Girls' Basketball 76 (oont.) Mixed year won the game.” At half the Scrapperettes were behind by 12 points. Gurdon kept on making their shots and increased the lead to 21 points. When the buzzer sounded the Lady Go-Devils took a 61-40 win home with them. The fifth conference game was against the DeQueen Leopardettes. The Scrapperettes played one of the worst offensive games of the season but a very good defensive game. Priscilla Hawthorne was the high point with 17 points as the Scrapperettes took a 26-17 win over the Leopardettes. Then the Scrapperettes advanced to the District Tournament which was held in DeQueen. They played Prescott in the semi-finals. The Wolverettes played a good first half but Nashville came out in the second half fired up and willing to shoot the hoop. The Scrapperettes brought a 43-26 victory home with them in the first game. They went back to DeQueen to the finals where they faced the Lady Go Devi Is for the third time. Nashville had already fallen to the Lady Go-Devils twice, so naturally the team seemed more nervous then usual. Their shooting was down to 38% and the Lady Go-Devi Is took another win and won the district title. However, the Scrapperettes were second in the district and were still able to attend the Regional Tournament. They had a long trip, especially since it was a school night. They went to Fordyce where they faced the Smackover Buckaroos. With a minute left in the game the Scrapperettes held a 6-point lead on the Buckaroos. They weren’t successful in holding on to the ball late in the game and the Buckaroos took over to grab a 2-point win 42-40, ending the season.

Girls' Basketball 77 Winning is the game State is what we claimed As the track season started off in January with a few members running cross country, the Scrappers never dreamed they would win state, but Coach Gary Se-grest had the assurance of a winning team. The squad attended its first practice meet on March 9 at DeQueen. The Scrappers finished second in the meet, bested only by AAAA Broken Bow, Oklahoma. Marvin Williamson broke his own record in the high jump with a leap of 6'7 . It was his first day in track for the year. As the season progressed the Scrappers attended several more practice meets, receiving first or second place overall in each meet. In the first sweepstakes meet the Scrappers went to the Reddie Relays at Henderson State University. The Scrappers showed the shape of things to come as they easily won the meet. Johnny Johnson set a school record in the 220-yard dash with a time of 22.6. The following week the NHS thinclads participated in their Scrapper Relays. There were around 2,000 young men and women who participated in this event. Against competition from all over Arkansas, the Scrappers finished first, with Prescott finishing second. After a day’s rest, the Scrappers journeyed to DeQueen and won the Leopard Relays, marking the first time in Coach Gary Segrest’s track career to win this title. During the following week the Scrappers attended the Magnolia Panther Relays, going up against AAA and AAAA schools. This was supposed to serve as a conditioning meet for the Scrappers.

The following week the B-team journeyed to the Outlaw Relays at Dierks. The regular team traveled to Stamps for the Yellow Jacket Relays. Both teams performed well. The main team captured the championship at Stamps for the second consecutive year. Junior Matt Van Horn set a school record in the pole vault with a performance of 13 feet, 3 inches. The next week, it was the Prescott Curley Wolf Relays for the Scrappers. Nashville placed second in the meet amid a storm of controversy. Terry Clardy turned in a time of 40.5 in the 330 intermediate hurdles for a school record. Scott Dunson set a school record in the mile run with a time of 4:29.9 The focal point of the season, the district track meet, occurred the following week at Prescott. Once again, controversy occurred and the Scrappers finished second. Nashville did, however, qualify 13 tracksters for the state meet, the second largest number of Scrappers ever to earn this distinction. The 13 proved to be enough when the state meet occurred at McCrory. It was sweet revenge on everybody as the Scrappers seized the state championship. The Scrapper places at state include: High jump - Williamson, 3rd; Discus - Collier, 5th; Shotput - Scroggins, 1st; Long Jump - Johnson, 1st (new school and state record); 330 Hurdles - Clardy, 6th; 2-Mile Run - Dunson, 3rd; 220 dash - Johnson, 5th; 880 Relay - 6th (Williamson, Green, Walker, Clardy); 440 Dash - Johnson, 2nd (New school record) Mile Run - Dunson, 1st (New school record); Mile Relay - 1st (Johnson, Pryor, Green, Clardy; New School record). The mile relay team, shot-put, long jump and mile run were all represented by the Scrappers in the Meet of Champions. Nashville faced the supposedly best athletes in the state, regardless of classification. Senior Mark Scroggins set a school record in the shotput with a throw of 53 feet, 8 inches. Throughout the season, one state record, nine school records and countless meet records had been set by the Scrappers. With the Scrapper season ended, the Joe Lee Good rum Track Award went to Scott Dunson. The season was one that will not be forgotten. Scott summed up the season, “I knew we were good, but I didn’t know we were that good.” The NH8 track team include : (first row) Mike Morrow, Dionne Pryor. Adrian Williams, Roy Stockton. Gary Hughes.

Track 81 Girls’ track at NHS continued to be on the upswing during the 1982 season. Realizing that one of the main problems was the lack of tradition. Coach Donnie Derfler set about to remedy this situation. The team consisted of seniors Gloria Souder and Kati Raiti; juniors Andrea Young, Marlene Kirby and Gwen Souder; sophomores Tammy Keaster and Lynnea Reaves: and sophomore manager Leslie Watson. The girls participated in the Scrapper Relays, Yellow Jacket Relays. Wolverrette Relays and the Leopardette Relays. They also competed in the district and state meets. Scrapperette places at the district meet include: High Jump - Souder, 5th; Discus - Kirby. 5th; Young, 6th; 110 hurdles - Souder, 5th; Young, 6th; Mile Run - Souder, 1st; 440 Run - Souder, 5th; Keaster, 6th; 880 Run - Keaster, 6th; Mile Relay - 2nd (Raita, Souder, Souder, Young). Gloria Souder pushes toward the finish line for a victory at the Scrapper Relays. Racing to see who will be victors at the District meet, Marlene Kirby and Tammy Keaster strain to win State’s first look Building a tradition All participants finishing in the top two in their events qualified for the state meet. Therefore, Young, Raita. Keaster, Souder and Souder became the first Scrapper-ettes to compete in the state meet at McCrory. The Scrapperette places at the state meet include: Mile Run - Souder, 12th; Mile Relay - 11th (Souder, Young, Raita, Keaster). Coach Donnie Derfler had the following comments about this group of young ladies, “The 1982 Scrapper girls track team was a hard-working group that competed hard and got the most out of their ability. Their success cannot be measured in ribbons and points accumulated this year, but in the future, where they can take pride in the fact that they helped build a tradition in girls’ track at NHS. A tradition, not of winning, but one of dedication, being a class group and competing; that will eventually lead to a tradition of winning.” To get into shape, Cassandra Marshall and Shela Hatsell run a practice routine. 82 Sports Tr ck 83 Consistency makes a difference New popularity for an old sport Baseball, the “great American pastime,” was popular in England at least one hundred years ago. Most baseball players and fans don’t even know that. The American form started about 1845. The rules for the game were written by Alexander J. Cartwright. After the Civil War, the soldiers returned home and they spread the sport throughout the country. It reached a peak of popularity among students this year as the baseball team had a outstanding year. For the first time the Scrappers won 20 games in one season. They also won the 7AA West District Championship. To win district the Scrappers had to play Blevins, who beat them out of the title last year. The Scrappers won 10-1. The Scrappers played DeQueen in the finals and beat them 12-1. DeQueen had beaten Nashville both times in the conference games. Following these games, the Scrappers moved to the Southern Regional at Junction City and faced Smackover, Determination led the Scrappers to a 12-1 win. The Scrappers then played Junction City, which had one of the hottest pitchers in the state; he also had some national records. In the last inning Lloyd Renfrow hit a home run to win the game for Nashville with a score of 3-2. Todd Feemster was the winning pitcher. This was the first time in 12 years for Junction City to lose a home game. Winning the regionals gave the Scrappers a chance to go to state where they lost in the quarter finals to Paragould 3-0. A successful regular season schedule built up to the climax. The first game was a heart breaker. They lost to DeQueen 4-2, but won their second with a score of 5-0. After their first losses the team decided they had to go up. They won all their conference games except the two they lost to DeQueen. The Scrappers beat teams such as Blevins, Lockesburg, and DeQueen. They also defeated their triple A opponents. Magnolia, Ashdown, and Hope. They played in the HSU Tournament, where they lost to Bryant 3-2. On May 24, at the Spring Sports Banquet, awards were given to Robert Bennett for leading hitter, Todd Feemster for outstanding pitcher, and most valuable player was Wayne Taylor. The team as a whole had a batting average of .306 and the pitching staff earned run average of 1.15. Robert Bennett had the leading hitting average of .441, with Lloyd Renfrow second at .434. Todd Feemster and Clint Bedwell had pitching records of 7-2 each. Six seniors, Wayne Taylor, Steve Jackson, Donny Goodner, Todd Feemster, Lloyd Renfrow, and Robert Bennett have enjoyed their baseball career which was very successful. They started off playing high school baseball their sophomore year. That year they were district champs and were the SAU Tournament runners-up. They stuck with the long practices and were district runners-up. After two years of high school baseball, the glory was all theirs and they won the district title and the regional title with help from their other team members. The majority of the seniors planned to continue their baseball careers at college. Coach Johnny Wilson said, ‘‘I think this was the most consistent baseball team in the areas of offense, defense, and pitching, that Nashville has ever had. This was due primarily to the leadership of the six seniors, Donny Goodner, Todd Feemster, Lloyd Renfrow, Robert Bennett, Steve Jackson, and Wayne Taylor.” Nashville finished the year with a 20-4 record.

Senior Ellen Brown won the district title and made it to the semi-finals of state. In singles, Kelly Dildy, Ann Sanders, and Sharia Robertson were runners-up in district competition. As a team, the girls won the district. The boys' team consisted of two members - senior David Ackley and junior Steve Graves. “Fun and exciting” is how David described tennis. He was the runner-up in the singles division of district, along with going to the quarter-finals of state. Steve thought the season ended short. His opinion of the season was, “I got ripped.

The team opened their season with a 360-390 victory over Ashdown. Steve Jackson was the overall low point man with 19 strokes. Steve was the medalist for the second week in a row against Prescott with a score of 85. Billy Hockaday was a close second with 89. The match went 13 holes instead of 18, the NHS golfers won 59-72. The Scrappers played Ashdown and were defeated in their third match 92-64. Then they traveled back to Prescott and took another victory. They captured three of the top five places to finish first. Billy Hockaday was the medalist with 81; Darin Harper second with 92. The Scrappers took two victories over DeQueen. The first with 154-166 and the second 208-265. The golfers finished the season with a record of 5-1. Coach Tommy DeBlack said, “We had a good year and were only one stroke away from making it to the state tournament.

Many students found that intramurals, individual sports and other activities gave them a chance to make a desperation free throw or hit a home run. These games took place at lunch, after school, on weekends, and any other time a few would-be “jocks” got together. Intramural basketball and softball proved to be quite popular among students. They provided excitement and a way to pass the lunch breaks, which sometimes seemed a bit long. The basketball championship was won by the Time. At the conclusion of the playoffs a series of benefit games were held to help the student tornado victims. The Hardballers won the softball title. Sophomore Tammy Sullivan takes her turn at bat during a softball game held at lunch. But not quite Rules for the games were set up by Mr. Bill Dawson, who supervised the intramural program. Sports outside of organized events at school gave many students a chance to take part in some kind of competition. Ricky Copeland took part in Sunday afternoon football. He said one reason was “to take out revenge .. . and to take out my frustrations.” Other students took part in such things as tennis, golf, basketball and any other type of sport they could find. A few of the more adventurous even tried donkey basketball in a contest sponsored by the FFA. Whether it was playing golf or falling from a donkey, intramurals and unorganized sports were a good chance for students to try their athletic skills. Keeping her mind on the game.

From the first football game of the season in September until the track meet of champs in May, one word could be used to describe Scrapper sports — successful. NHS athletes were either district champs or runners-up in five out of six sports. The track team climaxed a banner sports year by bringing home the State AA championship. Two banquets were held during the year to honor the players, coaches and cheerleaders. The Nashville Rotary Club held its annual football banquet December 12, while springtime athletes had their Scrapper Booster Club-sponsored fete on May 25. Senior Garland White was named the most valuable player for the football team. He gained 2,192 yards in three seasons. He was also the recipient of the leading rusher award. Defensive standout Anthony Whitmore was the winner of the leading tackier award; he set a school record with 139. Leadership awards went to Terry Clardy, Tim Pedron and Robert Bennett. Coach Gary Segrest noted that the team won the district championship and added, With a little luck and less injuries, we could have been state champions. Most people in the audience of 250 probably agreed with his assessment. Spring athletes added more hardware to the trophy cases, and these individuals had their turn in the limelight. Coach Jan Segrest’s basketball girls made it into the regional playoffs, while Coach Bill Thigpen’s round-ballers went to the semifinals of regionals. Johnny Johnson received the free throw award; Marvin Williamson and Garland took the spirit award, and Williamson was named the most valuable player. Coach Donnie Derfler recognized Gwen Souder, who set a district record in the mile. He predicted a bright future for girls track. The girls tennis team brought back another district title, with Ellen Brown and David Ackley making it to the semi-finals of state. Baseball enjoyed a 20-4 record, securing district and regional titles but losing in the state playoff opener. Wayne Taylor was MVP for Coach Johnny Wilson’s squad; Robert Bennett was leading hitter, with Todd Feemster winning the pitching award. Coach Tommy DeBlack gave awards to golfers Billy Hockaday and Steve Jack-son. The team missed state by one stroke. Tracksters won 16 trophies and set nine school records enroute to the school’s only state title of the year. Records were set by Marvin Williamson, Mark Scoggins, Johnny Johnson, Matt VanHorn, Scott Dun-son, Terry Clardy and the mile relay team. Dunson was the state mile champion; Scoggins won state in the shotput; Johnson grabbed the state long jump title. Members of the coaching staff received awards at both banquets, as did cheerleader sponsor Mrs. Anita Stuckey. At the spring event Superintendent Carl Barger gave a plaque to the coaches in recognition of the teams’ success.

To participate in sports? To show off our new clothes? To gossip about the latest news? Yes, we go to school for these reasons, but the main reason for attending school is to study and learn something educational. Field trips were an interesting way for students to learn new things. The Library Club took its annual trip to Little Rock for the state convention. Speech students toured KATV in Little Rock. The Nekoosa Paper Mill in Ashdown was the destination of the Future Business Leaders of America. They toured the mill and learned the many aspects of paper-making. Field trips were fun and educational, but the main place of learning was, of course, the classroom. Taking notes, studying for tests, listening to lectures, watching filmstrips, performing experiments — all of these were ways in which students learned new things. A few days before research papers were due the libraries were places where students could be found working diligently. The school library was also a good place for study hall students to go in search of an interesting book to read. These things and others added tremendously to the educational aspects of Nashville High.

There is really nothing I would want to change, Mr. Carl Barger said of the year. “First, the North Central self-evaluation study has been completed in junior high. Elimination of three starred items on the North Central report items will take place next fall. Completion of NCA was one of the goals set at the beginning of school. The scope and sequence and curriculum guide in grades K-12 were completed. “This has been successful academically,” Mr. Barger said. “Students seem to be performing better and there seems to be better communication between the students, faculty, and administration. “For next year we are going to try to upgrade our library resources, new books, and equipment.” “We are going to do some remodeling at primary school in the kindergarten department to try to make it more functional, also some minor maintenance improvements in our schools such as the beauty of our campuses and try to prevent some of the erosion problems, and work on the roofs.” Mr. Barger hopes to have the close Mr. Carl Barger gives some helpful information to Mrs. Sue Harsh and Mrs. Dana Newberg. Building principals are Mrs. Katie W esc he, primary; Mr. Bill Dawson, high school; Mr. Paul Tollett. elementary; and Mr. Danny Howard, junior high. circuit T.V in high school, junior high, primary, and elementary. Next year they will have cable service in all of the schools. It is now in high school and junior high. “This has been a good school year, and the things that I’m responsible for had its normal ups and downs but as always everything worked out,” Mr. Barger added. This has been a fine student body. The seniors have worked hard, but next year they will have to work even harder,” he said of the students. “I’ve been here many years and there has always been something great out of every senior class and good leadership, said Mr. John Shaddox, assistant superintendent. Mr. Bill Dawson said, “This school year has been one of the best I have been associated with. The attitude of the students as a whole has been excellent and the cooperation of the parents was the best ever.” The Student Handbook for next year will be redone to make clearer the rules and regulations that groom the students. Rules will be numbered and disciplinary action to be taken will be listed along with the rules. This will enable the students to know what will happen when school regulations are violated. Increased recognition of the academic student was another area that was improved, according to Mr. Dawson. The honors were given to draw attention to the academic students who make the Principal’s List, Honor Roll, and Merit List. Honor Medallion and Honor Cords were added to give proper identification to Honor Oraduates. To give further importance to what is called the tough courses additional quality point credits were given making it worthwhile to the students accepting the challenge of difficult subject matter. Biology was then made a requirement for graduation, bringing the total credits to 19. “The spelling contest is another example of placing importance upon the academic area, truly an area that has been neglected for several years,” said Mr. Dawson. The development of a school-wide curriculum guide is probably the greatest accomplishment, he said. The guide makes it possible for the student, parent, and teacher to know what is to be taught and what is expected of the student and how the student will be tested in the effort to determine what has been learned. 96 Academics Exasperation shows as the year draws to a close for Mrs. JoJo Reed.

Administration 97 Reading research, paintings pottery Not all books and brushes Almost everyone went to the library more than once to work on research papers, a book report, or just to get a book to read. Students felt the library should be kept in order for them to find what they needed. Teresa Brewer said, “The library is very well organized and Mrs. Virginia Davis knows what she is doing. The library is kept up to date with the latest equipment.” According to Mrs. Davis the library had a fund raising project with money used to buy microfiche so the students would have more information for research. Something many students enjoyed was art. Students taking art could do projects such as drawing, printing, basket weaving, painting, wire trees and a few more things. Tammy Croy said, “I’ve been in art five years and I feel each year I’m getting better, thanks to Mrs. Clingan. My hangup is doing portraits and Mrs. Clingan knows that and lets me work on them all school year. I'm planning to go to Houston Art School to become a fashion designer or something like that.’’ During the year Mrs. Clingan took her students to Henderson State University to attend an exhibit show. Jennifer Young and Isaiah Lofton brought honorable mention awards home. 98 Academics Oaylon Couch displays her award-winning abstract design.

By the dawn’s early light Did you know that rhinoceros horns are believed to be capable of reducing fever? Mr. John Robert Schirmer, tenth grade English instructor, probably does. The “Unique Rhinoceros was one of the many different, and often strange, topics chosen for the nerve-wracking and worrisome research paper. The minds of all NHS students came up with the usual topics, such as the popular composers and sports, and the unusual, such as rhinoceroses and munitions. Libraries, typewriters, and erasers became familiar objects consulted in the students' daily agenda. Mrs. Neva Byrd described the most unusual paper she ever received by saying, “I’ll never forget the idiot who wrote a four-page paper, four words to a page, in pencil.” Students were plagued with the The fate of every typographical error and misspelled word is an overflowing trash can. A frustrated Scott Elder thinks twice before choosing another impossible topic. Better late than never common problems of writing papers. Sophomore Cindy Myers said her biggest problem was finding a subject to write on. Typing mistakes, such as incorrect margins, uneven spacing, spelling errors, and the like caused many a student to break out the aspirin bottle. Marked-out words and liquid paper blotches were sure signs that a student needed to consult the nearest dictionary. “I had a student once who misspelled the same word fifteen times, sighed Mr. Schirmer. Most students commonly waited until the last two or three days before the paper was due to finish it, although it was normally assigned three weeks earlier. Librarians that were in the range of any student doing a paper were continually occupied with putting card files back in order, cleaning up trails of note cards left behind by unorganized essayists, and students checking out books. So what did all this trouble, toil, and worry accomplish? According to junior English teacher Mrs. Jan Ponder, “Students planning to go to college need to know how to do a research paper, because in college they don’t tell you how to do it; they say ‘do it.’ According to some students, such as senior Ricky Copeland, research papers “help a student in learning more about different fields of study. It also helps in bettering writing skills. Teresa Grundy, a junior, said, “I think research papers help a student to develop a more exquisite sense of writing in explaining different points of view. It also helps them improve their English vocabulary. 100 Academic One again, Rhonda Hubbard consults liquid paper to remove any evidenoe of a mistake. Junior English teacher Jan Ponder demonstrates the moment of truth for every research paper. Research Papers 101 The list goes on . . . Pens, pencils, paper, etc. One college ruled notebook for English, two folders for Geometry and Biology, typing paper for Typing I and II and erasable pens. Sound familiar?? Many lists like this one could be found stuffed in purses, pockets and other various places. These were to be later either dictated to Mom or hunted by the unlucky students starting school. At one time obtaining the right things for school would have been an easy task for Mother. But now it could be quite a headache. Modern technology has brought in more than atom bombs and super-sonic aircraft. It has also created such wonders as Mead’s Organizer, Tri-Fold Organizers, plastic binders, spiral notebooks, even ones equipped with perforated edges for the English teachers, and of course pens with erasable ink. Who could ask for more? How about the stores? Every year the price of school supplies goes up. This is one of the reasons parents’ pockets are bled for more and more money each year. The only prices that managed to stay half-way stable are the prices of the school supplies sold in the office. There you could still get pencils and erasers for a dime, pens for a quarter, typing paper for a dollar, and spiral notebooks for seventy-five cents and a dollar twenty-five. There was also an advantage to being able to run down the hall and into the office to grab a pencil, pen or some paper before the next class. It is fairly easy to complain about the prices of school supplies, but you pay for convenience. Just think about what it would be like to have to take a hammer and chisel and carve your next eight-page research paperl School supplies can be a bother, but they seemed to make the hassle of homework a lot easier. 108 Academics Thousands of pons are on display in Wal-Mart for the varying likes and dislikes of the school students. Many different kinds of pens tend to make Mother's task a bit more oonfusing if the type required isn't specified. School Supplies 103 Services volunteered Or working 8 to 3 and beyond . . . Who hasn’t, at one time or another, used their own time for something for school other than homework? Who has never stayed after school or come to school during what was supposed to be vacation? The number one reason for this “overtime was practices. Whether it was for football practice, play practice, basketball practice, band practice, or track practice (just to name a few), at any given time there could probably be several students found at school working on an “extra-curricular” project. Those involved in sports put in a lot of their time every day after school to perfect their teams. Sophomore Teresa Brewer, a tennis player, said, “Practice helps improve your sport.” Tracksters spent their afternoons running around the track or whatever else Coach Gary Segrest felt would be good for his team. Greg James, a junior, said track was an important source of exercise for him. “Sometimes I wanted to stop and couldn’t, but after it was all over I could look back at what I accomplished.” Football boys were practicing weeks before the rest of the students started school. Coach Charles Carozza said football practice was “hard and hot. Sophomore Kuper Kreul said he “dreaded practice, but it helped in the long run. A little hard work pays off.” Band practices also began early in the fall. Carol Clark, a sophomore, said, “Band’s a lot of fun, but practice is a crucial time, but during football season it really pays off. It’s exciting to hear the whole crowd yell at us with enthusiasm.” The cheerleaders put many long hard hours into learning cheers and building pyramids, beginning in the late summer. Senior Cheerleaders Brenda Bissell and Kathleen Jones felt that all the hard work was worth it, however. The journalism department was another group that started working before the school year began. Newspaper and yearbook staffs met several times during the summer to discuss and learn how to get these publications into action. Many long hot days were spent traveling around town to different businesses selling ads to raise money to make the Tattler and the Scrapper possible, and then more after-school hours were spent to make these publications the best ever. Scrapper editor Terry Melson said she definitely felt that all the time she put into the yearbook was worth it. “This yearbook has been one of the most important things of my senior year. Although I’ve put in many hours after school, I feel that it has been worth every minute of it. When other things were going wrong, the yearbook was one of the things which kept me going. I hope everyone likes the many changes which we’ve made in the quality of the book. Fund-raising was a big out-of-class activity. Almost all school organizations were involved in some kind of money-making activity. Band members sold candy bars and Christmas candles to raise money for new uniforms and a trip to Six Flags. Doreen Dowdy said, “I don’t mind the summer practices. I know we need them, but selling’s the pits! The FBLA sold candy bars to raise money for their business trip to Little Rock. Library Club members sold chances to win a muzzle-loading rifle. The money was used to buy micro-fiche for the library. French Club and Honor Society members spent time after school baking cookies and then used their lunch hours to sell these cookies. The Honor Society worked on several worthwhile projects. Senior Eddie Brown, president of the Honor Society, said, “The Honor Society did many constructive things throughout the year. We scrounged through garbage cans trying to find aluminum cans to give to the downtown museum. The money we earned selling cookies paid for the installation of members and Christmas gifts for the nursing home. The cheerleaders sold rosters at the football games and towels to the players. They also worked on a talent show for the students. Brenda Bissell said the money went to worthy causes. “Everything is so expensive. We pay for our own. We can’t expect the school to pay for it. They’d be in debt. Juniors and seniors found themselves putting a lot of their time into the productions of the junior and senior plays. The juniors kept busy raising money for the jr.-sr. banquet. The seniors used their funds for payment for the senior dance. The Drama Club spent its spring break rehearsing their first play. Wayne Toliver, a sophomore, said, “It was hard work, but worth it, 'cause we had a lot of fun.” As the school year came to a close, the seniors met every morning for graduation practices. This was a special time for some seniors, as they realized their high school days were almost over. Jana Witherspoon said, “It was a valuable experience, and I suddenly realized that this was the end. Although many complained of not having a free moment, they admitted that their extra-curricular activities added to their school life. “I was never bored!” said one sophomore. 104 Academics Band mombers relax for a moment during a hot summer practice.

Unhomework was when a teacher assigned homework and there was time left to finish it in class. At least 95% of the students took advantage of the time, although there was the other 5% who didn't and who didn't even bother turning it in the next day. When students were asked about unhomework they all seemed to enjoy the time the teachers gave them, and many finished other homework. Sophomore Rhonda Hubbard said. I like it better because I have time to finish it in class and might not have time later due to school activities.” Senior Chris Toliver’s comments on unhomework were. “It's fine because you have more time to do your own activities instead of having homework.” The teachers who gave un-homework liked the idea because if vs. homework later their students had any questions they were there to help them out. One teacher said. “When I assigned work and they had time to finish it in class they finished or at least worked on it, or I would make sure they did with a little persuasion.” The teachers who didn’t give unhomework had their reasons. They said students could do the work at home. If they did have time they usually borrowed a friend’s paper and copied it down and their friends weren’t always right. Excuses for not doing homework were abundant: “I left my books on the bus,” the list could go on. Everyone at one time has given an excuse like these. Students in high school seemed to take homework more seriously. Why? Students realized they were becoming adults and school was preparing them for the future.

Tests seemed to be the cause of worry and frantic last minute studying. To the students tests were a constant problem. There always seemed to be something else to do. Things such as football games, band trips, practices, or a night on the town with a friend were unmovable obstacles. Studying on the bus. between classes and midnight cramming became a familiar scene. Although it was a grudging task most students found some time to study. Feelings about tests were basically the same. Senior Scott Dunson said. “Tests are all right as long as you know what is going on. They get you out of a boring lecture. But if you don’t it can be a rather horrendous experience.” When asked about tests Terry Barnes said, ‘‘Tests are okay except in English class. They are too long and there are too many.” To the teachers tests were a pain -in - the - neck. Besides taking time to make them it took twice that time to grade them. And as in the case of an English essay it is a rather meticulous job. English and French teacher Mrs. Neva Byrd put it like this.” Testing is a necessary evil in teaching. Contrary to what students believe testing is not punishment. Properly administered and evaluated, tests are valuable tools for instructors and pupils alike. “Most teachers would probably be happy to dispense with them. However, imperfect devices though they be, they are the maps that show us where we have been and what we did while we were there.” No matter how big or small, tests always caused a considerable amount oi complaining. But tests were taken ir stride along with every other academic pain - in - the neck. Chris Tolliver uses time between classes to do some last minute studying. Many of Mrs. Jones’ afternoons are spent grading stacks of accounting tests. Tests 109 Mrs. Bernie Heliums prepares a microscope for students to look through. Challenging the mind Using reason Interesting, gross, neat, yuck, exciting, ugh — all of these words were ways which students described the science experiments in Mrs. Bernie Heliums’ and Coach Charles Carozza’s biology classes. Many students thought that dissecting frogs, worms and sharks was interesting, while others believed it was disgusting. But it paid to watch when the experiments were being done, because there was always a test to follow. In Mrs. Bernie Heliums' classes the students performed many different experiments. One of the more interesting ones was done with a potato in hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic solutions to show diffusion of water. Another project which pupils enjoyed was building a DNA molecule out of straws, Cheerios, and string. Finding out what kind of blood type they had was an experiment which the classes thought worthwhile. When it came time to dissect frogs and worms, Mrs. Heliums’ classes were divided into groups of two. so that not everyone had to do the actual cutting. Although a few students had weak stomachs and could hardly stand to look at the specimens, most thoroughly enjoyed learning the different parts of them. Coach Charles Carozza's biology classes not only dissected frogs and worms but also sharks. His classes spent almost two weeks on these specimens. Earthworms were dissected next, and when it was time for the frogs, some students were becoming tired of dissecting. Most pupils liked working with microscopes and preparing slides on cells. They also learned how to stain cells and figure out whether they were animal or plant cells. Later on in the year, students gathered algae and observed it under the microscope and found some protozoans that live in water to study. The chemistry class performed many experiments on gases. They learned how to prepare oxygen and hydrogen gas and observed the properties of them. Experiments on the molar volume and the molecule weight of a gas were considered interesting. Photography was probably the most enjoyable experiment in which students were involved. They took pictures and then developed the negatives and made a few prints. Coach Carozza did demonstrations for the class in which they learned to identify metals of certain compounds. He also did a demonstration to illustrate the conductivity of electrolights. Coach Charles Carozza shows his biology students the correct way to dissect a shark. 8tudents in biology class are assisted by Coach Charles Carozza with their dissected shark.

Science experimente 111 A challenge to learn From neolithic to Nixon Studies of Franklin Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, and many other United States patriarchs took place in many classes, but the main one was Mrs. Millie Shaddox and Coach Tommy DeBlack's United States history classes. United States History was a required course for juniors. It attempted to give a broad-based survey of the cultural, political, and social development of the United States from the pre-colonial period to the present. It placed particular emphasis on significant events, movements, and personalities that helped shape the course of American history. Right along with United States History was government, and that was Miss Betty Floyd’s department. To further their investigations into the network of government, Miss Floyd took her classes to court where they were spectators to one of the largest lawsuits in Arkansas against a major manufacturer. Next came Sociology, taught again by Miss Floyd. Sociology devoted itself entirely to man and his activities and behavior in groups. It was concerned with social institutions (family, government, economics, education, and religion), social problems (crime, pollution, marriage, divorce, health, etc.) and all other aspects of human behavior. Last but not least, came the seniors’ favorite, world history. This a ?ain was taught by Coach Tommy DeBlack. According to Coach DeBlack, “World History is a course designed primarily for the ‘college-bound’ senior.” World history traced the growth and development of civilization from ancient times to the present. Major cultures, religions, movements, and events, were stressed. It also included world geography and an introduction to great art and music. At the beginning of the year Coach DeBlack could be heard describing his class as “drowning in a sea of ignorance.” But after a year of history notes and pop quizzes, events like the “Battle of Little Big Horn,” and the “Alamo,” were common knowledge.

Business and math courses were both exciting and meaningful for many of the students who took them. They offered a chance to gain practical experience as well as learn theories. Some students took classes to prepare for college, while others planned to enter a career in business after graduation. Typing and Shorthand are Mrs. Relda Aylett’s way of preparing students for the future. Deborah Swann's reason for taking typing was So I’ll learn how to type research papers, and also I won’t have to depend on someone else to do my typing.” Lisa Cassady took typing because she planned on doing secretary work and typing is an essential for that. Mrs. Ozie Jones, teacher of accounting, business math and office practice, centered her class around first figuring small totals and also keeping records for large imaginary firms. Debbie Hughes said. I signed up for accounting because I want to major in business and I need accounting for a background.” Larry Brown said, “I took accounting because there weren’t any other classes I preferred.” Trigonometry was a class taken mostly by seniors. It was nick - named “trig,” but was really a mix of trig” and advanced math. Mrs. Mary Frances Spigner, trig” teacher, said. Trigonometry is the application of algebra and geometry to the study of triangles.” Mauricio Aldea said. ‘‘I took ‘trig’ to improve my knowledge of math.” Jay Mitchell said, “I took ‘trig because I wanted the knowledge of it for the future.” Geometry, a class open to most students, was chosen by many this year. One student, Teresa Brewer, stated. Geometry is a class that makes you use your mind.” Alan Pinkerton took Geometry, Business Math, and Algebra II in his sophomore year. He said, I took these courses because I like math and they will help me prepare for the future.” Jay Graham took both Geometry and Algebra II as a sophomore because he hoped he could take trig as a junior. Jay said, ‘‘I think you need math for a good job.” Mrs. Bernie Heliums teaches biology and various math courses. She said, My classes study all different types of geometric figures including angles, polygons, and geometric solids. We also learn to apply deductive reasoning.” Many students took these business courses and math courses to prepare them for their future in the business world.

Students became more involved in organizations and in learning about the things they will need in the future. This year two new clubs were formed — the Chess Club and the Future Business Leaders of America. The Chess Club, which was started by Paul Clingan, gave students a chance to learn a difficult and challenging game. The Future Business Leaders of America, a national organization, was formed by typing teacher, Mrs. Relda Aylett and bookkeeping teacher Mrs. Ozie Jones. The FBLA gave students a chance to learn about the business world and just how it operates. In the past, all clubs have had money-making projects for club expenses. This year the clubs joined together and helped the victims of the tornado that hit Nashville on April 2. The Future Homemakers of America sold sandwiches, and a benefit show which was sponsored by all of the organizations was held on April 23. The proceeds from these projects went to the tornado victims: Terry Melson, Melissa Fatheree, and Ronnie and Ezekeal McFadden. The Tattler was dedicated to Dedra Melson and the proceeds went to her sister, Terry. The clubs also combined forces to purchase a new sofa and chair for the teacher’s lounge. Organizations provided various activities for their members to participate in. They also offered many students a first-hand look at possible careers.

Student Council on the go Active,” “worthwhile,” “helpful,” “organized,” “different,” “responsible” . . . These are the words used by Student Council members to describe the 1981-82 Student Council year. “Active” is certainly an apt word. Members took part in several “worthwhile” projects, such as raising money for the Heart Fund, changing the billboard on the school grounds every week, working the concession stand during lunch, organizing the Homecoming dance, decorating a Christmas tree in the courtyard, and many other “helpful” or fun activities for the students and the members of the community. Some of the more memorable projects were the computer dating matches and selling Valentine carnations. Ann McAdams, senior representative, said she felt selling chances for a shopping spree to raise money for the Heart Fund was one of the most worthwhile projects she worked on. Sophomore representative Tony Lyons said, “All the projects we worked on were worthwhile because the money we earned went to good causes.” Some of the money earned in various ways went to buy benches for the courtyard. An agreement was made that for every two benches the Student Council paid for, the school would buy one. Most of the members agreed that despite the many activities they were involved in, the work didn’t take up much of their time. Tony said, “It did not take up a lot of my time, just a little during the lunch hour, and sometimes after school. It was not usually an inconvenience except when I had two things going at once.” Marti Hood, junior representative, had a different opinion, however. She felt that it took up a lot of her time, especially “working in the concession stand, and selling things to raise money.” The president, Victor Harding, said, “I worked a lot after school, but I always did Student Council work first.” The majority of the members agreed that despite the hard work, serving on the Student Council was an enjoyable experience. Mrs. Bernie Heliums simply said it was an experience. Ann liked “doing projects that benefited the students.” Victor said. “I liked the chance Student Council gave to aid the school and students in different affairs to better the school.” Jana Witherspoon, secretary, liked organizing the projects. She tried to establish certain traditional projects for the Student Council to handle, like selling carnations for Valentine’s Day. Tony said, “I enjoyed the new experiences it offered, like babysitting, which I had never done before. It was fun.” Everyone was usually well behaved and cooperative at the many meetings, but Victor said sometimes things got kind of rowdy. As president one of his jobs was to preside over the meetings and call everyone to order. The group followed parliamentary procedure and were usually very organized. There were never any major disagreements, and all the members got along well together. The Student Council members for 1981-82 were hard - working and “responsible” in their duties. The students and faculty appreciated this. Marti said, “I enjoyed representing my fellow students and acting as a medium between students and faculty.” Kuper Kreul was one of the students who commented on the good job the Student Council had done. “They worked real hard all year to try to raise money to set up events so the student body could have fun while still going to school, for example, the Homecoming dance, the Christmas tree, etc.” All in all, the members provided many different activities that made the school year a more interesting one for almost everyone, and even managed to make attending school a more enjoyable experience.

The club is sponsored by Mrs. Neva Bryd. The Honor Society undertook a number of projects at school and in the commun-ity. They used their money from the cookie sales for two things — to pay for installation for new members and materials. The students were eligible by their grades. Then the teachers voted the student in on the basis of their leadership, service, and character. The Honor Society is more of a service for the students. Virginia Power, a member of the National Honor Society said, “I consider being chosen as a member of the National Honor Society a great privilege. Knowing that the faculty believed in me has provided an incentive to do my best in school and in helping with school and civic projects.” On November 23, Wayne Taylor, Scott Dunson, Judy Beth Chandler, and Steve Jackson were installed in the National Honor Society.

Honor Society 121 Youth today, leaders tomorrow Students prepare for the future Students thinking into the future got a chance to join any of the three clubs at Nashville looking to the future. For the business-minded a new club, the Future Business Leaders of America, was formed by business teachers Mrs. Relda Aylett and Mrs. Ozie Jones. The FBLA was a national organization for students who were interested in the business side of things. The club helped prepare students for careers in the business world. FBLA was the fastest growing organization in the United States, with more than 8,000 chapters. The club became organized, formed many committees and raised close to $600 selling candy bars. For the more agriculturally minded person there was the old-time favorite, FFA. Members participated in many contests in teams such as land judging, poultry, forestry, crop, livestock, dairy, and horticulture. They also held a rodeo and participated in the county and state fairs and other judging contests. In class they worked on welding projects such as constructing cattle guards, gates, gun cabinets, round bale feeders and any other necessary projects. Those with economics in mind joined FHA, otherwise known as the Future Homemakers of America. At the beginning of the school year the FHA went to the annual Federation meeting at Texarkana. The FHA worked on learning to better themselves in cooking, and studied the learning processes of children. Rhonda Hubbard said, “It was nice to learn how to sew and cook so I can be more dependent on myself instead of my parents.’ The FHA fund raising projects included selling donuts at lunch, corsages for Homecoming. They also helped plan the annual FHA-FFA banquet. All clubs worked for the community and school improvement. They also helped make the 1981-82 school year and Nashville High active and productive.

As if a metamorphosis had taken place during the few short months of summer, the 1981-’82 Scrapper band emerged better than ever. Beginning in the second week of August and continuing until the start of school, the band brushed up on the old fight songs and quickly dove into the new year’s hit tunes. After tackling such songs as “Excalibur,” “On Broadway,” and “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” the band was out on the field putting together the half -time shows that carried them through the marching season. The first week of August had the rifles, flags, and majorettes busy in the summer sun learning their routines for the half - time shows. Barbara Pope, proprietor of the Barbara Stephenson Pope School of Band director Thomas Allison shows his spirit by leading the way through the snake dance. Drum Major Nancy Keeton and the Scrapper Band step proudly down Main Street during the Christmas Parade. Dance, had the majorettes twirling to “On Broadway in no time. Along with Mrs. Pope, or Miss Barbara” as the campers called her, two students of the University of Central Arkansas, rifle instructor Bucky Staggs and flag instructor Alice Long led the flags and rifles in a week of stretching exercises and learning. The flag line included captain Peggy Powell, Sharon Dalton. Kim Westfall, Nyla Roberts, Carol Ann Clark. Susan Wildbur, Stacy Hardin, and Tracy Hardin. The rifle corps had captain Mary Bradford, Debbie Acord, Eddy Lyons and Scott Copeland as its members. The majorettes were captain Pam Walters, Tammy Croy, Susan Baker, and Angie Clements. Drum major Nancy Keeton attended a class in Hope to learn her fundamentals for the oncoming season. The most significant change in the band's format was the purchase of new uniforms. Orange, black, and (coni.) A change of seasons white, striped tops were bought along with white, plumed Aussie hats to be worn with black trousers already on hand. Another outstanding change was the addition of freshmen band members from junior high. This addition increased the band's size enough to allow a larger choice of style for marching formations. Although the band's half -time performance wasn't polished in time, the first game had the band in the stands regardless. By the second game against Magnolia, however, the band had a two-number show. At this game, senior band members Peggy Powell, Nancy Keeton. Pam Walters. Wade Reed. Ricky Copeland. Scott Elder, Robert Ganous. Mike Spig-ner, and Mary Bradford received the band jackets provided annually by the band boosters. The length of the half -time shows varied from the first to the last of the season.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot was later replaced by On Broadway, the band's favorite, and America, a fast - paced version of My Country Tis of Thee, was added. Besides the marching performances at football games and contests, the band also led the fair and Christmas parades down Main Street. With the close of football season, or marching season to the band members, the band shed their uniforms and began the next element of the year: concert season. The Christmas concert, held on December 6. and the spring concert, on April 18. featured the senior, junior, beginner, and intermediate bands, all under the direction of Mr. Thomas Allison, band director. Benefit concerts at area nursing homes were also held. With the Christmas concert out of the way, the new semester saw the band hard at work rehearsing their material for region contest held March 26. at which the band earned a 3 for their material. The program included such songs as Columbian March, Ave Verum Corpus. and Battaglic. On January 23. nine band members journeyed to Hope for the All - Region tryouts. Three of the nine became eligible for membership to the first band out of two such bands. Along with Scott Elder, eleventh chair trumpet; Lori Aylett, fourteenth chair clarinet; and Dawn Mason, twenty - third chair clarinet; percussion member Tom Morrow made fourth alternate. By ranking so high, both Elder and Aylett were also eligible for All -State tryouts. Several individual band members also attended solo and ensemble contest on March 6 to be judged on pieces they have practiced for exhibition before a judge by themselves or with a group of like instruments. Another venture attended by members of the band was the annual band banquet. The banquet was planned for February 26. but it was postponed until March 4 because of snow. Mr. Randy Hughes, superintendent of Blevins schools and speaker at the banquet, had the students as well as the parents in the aisles with the story of Rindercella. A surprise appearance by the Great Karnak (Mr. Allison) revealed many things about the band members they didn’t know. In addition to the new changes in the band’s format, size, and appearance, many felt that a new sense of pride had also been present. Interest in the band program has also been acknowledged by Mr. Allison who said, In following years, the band’s size should increase dramatically. 126 Organizations The auxiliary line enhances the finale of their '•America” number.

You’ve got to be kidding! Their year begins with its cheerleading tryouts. Judges come from out of town to choose eight girls regardless of their grade level. At the end of the year the girls had two weeks off, and then they started selling advertisements for the football programs. The cheerleaders met three nights a week; two were spent practicing, the other was spent preparing the thirteen football run-through posters. Cheerleading camp was held at the end of June. To prepare for camp the girls met every day for two weeks before leaving. All of the practicing paid off this year because they came home with four superior ribbons and one excellent award. The girls were selected as the most spirited group in camp by the other cheerleaders that were there. They also received the spirit stick for the week and were selected along with three other squads to compete for the award of excellence. After camp, they went back to their three nights a week schedule, but right before school they practiced from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. everyday for a week. The cheerleaders added the extra touch to the football boys’ lockers and cars, and the field house with decorations. They served the boys refreshments during preseason practices and baked cookies for them to take on their long trips. For the important district games they were the ones that enlightened the town with written encouragements on store windows. The squad had quite a few activities throughout the year, such as pyramid building contests, downtown pep rallies, smash the car, and the beat DeQueen week. They were in the fair parade, and for the Prescott parade they rode on the firetruck. They also were the ones that let loose all of the balloons and baked 18 cakes for the student body. For the state playoffs against Highland the girls fixed breakfast for the boys which consisted of 450 eggs. 20 pounds of bacon, 400 biscuits, milk. Tang, and coffee, also helped with all of the decorating and setting up for the football banquet. Before the football season was over they had already started cheering for the basketball team. For the basketball season the cheerleaders tried to learn one or two new dances. They made all out of town and home district games. After basketball the squad started back into gymnastics to try to improve their tumbling skills. As the year drew toward the end. the seniors seemed to want to stay. Kathleen Jones said. “I wish I was coming back next year.” Brenda Bissell, the co -captain said, “I’ll miss it a lot.” Co-captain Ann McAdams said. “It’ll be hard to come to the games next year and not be able to cheer.” More than one tear wu shed at Highland. Building a pyramid is part of the spirit shown by the cheerleaders. Cheerleaders 129 Life wasn't all boring at NHS! Students who wanted to have fun but yet wanted it to be a group effort had several chances by joining clubs related to class work and special interests. The French Club, for instance, held the annual Mardi Gras on February 23. The new members all had to go through an initiation, which sophomore Wayne Toliver said was, “a little rough, but the food made up for it.” French Club was open to all students who had taken one semester of French and it was purely optional.

We are not a money-making club.” General involvement in school could have been used to describe the French Club during the 81-82 school year. The need for new educational clubs was met through the start of the Chess Club. King Paul Clingan. a junior, said, ‘‘I wanted to start the Chess Club to provide an opportunity for the people who wanted to play chess but had no one to play against.” The club was divided into a group for beginners and the one for advanced players; each had a separate tournament in which the champions played to win a ceramic chess set of cowboys and Indians. “It teaches one how to use the mind carefully and it is really challenging,” said senior beginner Larry Jefferson, “and I just like to play.” The Library Club was not just for librarians but for all students wanting to get involved in library activities. The Library Club's moneymaking project was to make a dollar chance for a .50 caliber Thompson Center Hawkins muzzle-loading rifle. Members of the Library Club were urged to attend the 30th annual Arkansas Student Librarians Association Conventions at Parkview High in Little Rock March 26. Despite the many conflicts, 20 students attended. Cindy Myers and Sherry Clayton were named to the 1982-83 ASLA officers. “I wanted to join a club that would get me involved in school activities,” said new student Judi Wallace, “and I thought the Library Club was the best way.

Being one of the best did not just come over night; the staff had to work long and hard for this recognition.

On Monday and Tuesday nights the paper was pasted up at school. The stories were cut to fit the page and each picture was made into the right size for its space. Then on Fridays the staff accompanied the completed paper to the Nashville News for printing. The Tattler reported events which took place on and off campus. It focused on problems at home and abroad. the wins and losses in sports. and the happy moments and the sad ones, too. Most of all it gave the students the opportunities to know more about their school and their classmates. All of the hard work and endurance were finally recognized in April when the Tattler staff went to the Arkansas High School Press Association convention in Little Rock. The Tattler entered many of its articles and it received an overall rating of “excellent” by the AHSPA. The Tattler members who received certificates for individual work include: Superior - Jodee Ayres, column; Excellent - Teresa Grundy, interview; Connie Richardson, feature story, and Dedra Melson, Libby Pounds, and Teresa Grundy, service to the community; Honorable Mention - Scott Dunson, movie review and sports column; Judi Wallace, report of a speech; Jana Witherspoon, new story; Greg Brown, sports story; and Eddie Brown, editorial.

The year at NJHS was filled with many new experiences and more exciting traditional ones. The thing which most teachers and students agreed was most exciting in their minds was the North Central Committee which came to inspect the school on April 21 and 22. According to Chairperson Mrs. Edith Barnes, in preparation for this committee the teachers also checked on other schools to get an idea of what kind of improvements could be made in each department. North Central gave the faculty pamphlets that contained questions about each department. The main reason students enjoyed the North Central Committee was that school was dismissed once a month at 1:00 p.m. for faculty workshops. Other events of the year included the traditional Homecoming, intramural games and the cheerleader homecoming in which the football players participated. Coach David Ponder replied that the most exciting moment in football was beating Prescott at Prescott after they’d already beaten us.” According to Coach Donnie Der-fler, the highlight of the track season was when the girls won the mile relay at Stamps, and the greatest moment in girls' basketball was winning district. The event which probably caused the greatest enthusiasm was the great snow. The students and faculty thoroughly enjoyed getting a week out of school because of natural causes. The students broke out their sleds and headed for the nearest and steepest hill.

Homecoming was another occasion which was full of excitement and happiness. Shema Davis was the 1981 Homecoming Queen. She was escorted Performing at a pep rally, the cheerleader lead the student body in one of the yells. by David Hicks and Eundra Boles. Another fun-filled activity was the cheerleader-sponsored mock homecoming which was composed of the football players who were formally dressed for their skit. Other events which were memorable included the freshmen civics trip to Little Rock and painting the word “Scrappers” on the elementary cafeteria wall by Mr. Hollis Hughes's first period art class. The Homecoming royalty consists of Patricia Nash, Susan Sanders. Susan Hubbard. Shema Davis, Tammy Young, Shonda Gray. Ann Martindale and Tera Lea Futrell.

Pep rallies were always the favorite because they shortened classroom time as well as built team spirit. After school, students often gathered to discuss “current events” over a Coke or to play one of the newest video games. Roller skating also added excitement to the weekends. Fast food places such as J J's, Pizza Hut. Big Tee, or Kentucky Fried Chicken provided places for some teenagers to “hang out.” Students who enjoyed individual sports spent their time at the park, on practice fields, and at private clubs enjoying them. One way which students participated in sports was during the many intramural games which were played during the lunch hour. Mr. Bobby Keaster was the sponsor for these games and had the job of organizing them. 8howing deep concentration, Johnny Johnson plana for hia next move against Randy Jackaon.

Jamie Rager, Joan Chandler, Lea McAdams, Slssi Davis, Ramona Young, Mylea Wolfe, Shannon 8tone, and Kerri Wesche. They assist principal Danny Howard, Secretary Emma Smith, plus the faculty and students of junior high. 142 Student Life Farmers to firemen, sellers to buyers Besides in-school activities, several students were involved in a number of extra-curricular ones. Clubs such as 4-H, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts provided students with opportunities to expand their knowledge in certain subject areas. The Boy Scouts earned skill awards and badges in their individual areas of interest. These skills were put to use in numerous camping and field trips. They won various prizes in the annual fishing trip to Lake Millwood. The junior high Girl Scout members volunteered for a number of projects in the community. Camping was a highlight of the troop activities this year. They earned badges and service awards in career-oriented subject matters. The entire junior high 4-H rode in the fair parade and a few of the members rode on the Christmas float which took hours of work to prepare. The 4-H met on the second Tuesday of each month. Seventh grader Rhonda Berg said she joined 4-H because ‘‘I like animals and since we’ve just rented a farm. I feel that being in 4-H will help me learn more about it.” All of these activities helped the students grow mentally and emotionally. The fellowship and fun added that extra touch to the school year. The office workers were essential to the aid of Mr. Danny Howard, Mrs. Emma Smith, and to the faculty and students. Besides being a working experience, it was a learning experience too. These workers learned to mimeograph a variety of subjects, run errands, and communicate with people. They also learned to take on the responsibility of a job they enjoy doing. The junior high branch of the FFA. taught by Mr. Joe Martin, began the year by having elections to fill the seven unoccupied officers’ seats. The members sold magazines all over Howard County for a moneymaking project in which they received prizes for the most magazines sold. In October the group began to prepare for the upcoming fairs. They attended the Howard County Fair and the 4-States Fair, in which they entered several varieties of livestock. As the year came to a close, the FFA members held a donkey basketball game and built picnic tables. The fire marshals were an asset to the safety and protection of the students and faculty. In October the members attended a state workshop for junior and senior high students. They learned more about the equipment involved, new and better ways to conduct drills, and a variety of other subjects dealing with fires and tornadoes. The fire marshals held fire drills once a month and tornado drills twice a year. After each drill they would meet in the conference room to discuss the drill procedures and how they could improve them. Under the supervision of Mr. Johnny Wilson, the concession stand workers were kept busy by the constant flow of students at lunchtime. Because some of the regular workers had extra activities to attend to part of the time at lunch, extra students were hired to occupy their places when they were gone. A couple of times during the year the concession stand was closed because of the excess trash on the grounds, but was soon reopened. The FFA members of the school year are sponsored by Mr. Joe Martin. The fire marshalls consist of: Mr. Bill Lyons. Todd Young. Kirk Dun son. Stephen Jamison. Jeff Biseell. and Jay Sanford. The concession stand workers are: Kathrine Marshall. Tommy Beene. Holly Oarney. and Carter. Tim Shankles. David Smith. Melissa Scotty Copeland. Activities 143 End of the junior high road The ninth graders participated in a number of activities this year. They took two trips, one to the diamond mine with Mrs. Linda Tate’s science classes and the other to Little Rock with Mrs. Connie Castleberry’s civics classes. The Nashville Junior Honor Society, which consisted mainly of freshmen, sold carnations for Valentine’s Day. The senior high band students sold Ninth gradera enjoy the orange and black Tea Party candy and candles to raise money to go to Six Flags over Texas. Freshman agri students visited farms to learn more about how the farms are operated. At the end of the year there was a spelling bee contest which Julie Foltz won. The last Friday before semester tests, the fifth period civics class gave Mrs. Connie Castleberry a surprise party. The class gave her a plaque of appreciation and a bouquet of flowers. The class brought cookies, chips, and drinks, so Mrs. Castleberry would enjoy the last full day of class. The freshmen had some mixed emotions about going to senior high. Some felt it would be fun but others didn’t. All are waiting to find out.

During the year they became involved in Drama Club, Honor Society, Library Club, and other organizations. The Library Club members learned about taking care of various sections and books in the library. The Drama Club put on three plays. They presented “A Spell of Evil,” and two short one-act plays. The Honor Society had 17 people installed. Of the 17 people, 15 were from the eighth grade and two from the ninth. The advanced art students did many drawings. They tried hand drawings, landscapes, gesture drawings, paintings, pen and ink, and pastels. In the clay department they did pottery on the wheel, clay sculptures, worked with new glazes and the kiln. Working diligently, Ramona Young tries to finish her lettering.

One of these activities was when the seventh grade health classes went to the park one week to play various games. The seventh grade Art I class took a trip to Henderson State University. There they saw paintings, the ceramics department, and the Henderson State Museum. The seventh grade band sold candy and candles to raise enough money for their annual trip to Magic Springs. They spent a very enjoyable day there. Seventh graders ended the year by finding out if they had passed to the eighth grade after such a demanding year.

But at NJHS, academics is mostly defined as -students learning. “Learning can be really fun, replied Ken Gregory. Tiffany Oliver said, “The teachers help the kids a lot. It makes it easier to learn, even in the hardest classes! When asked if there had been any changes in courses because of the results of the Basic Skills Tests, Mrs. Maye G. Davis replied, “The English teachers have not made any major changes in their courses but are stressing those skills which are required and working on specific reading skills. I also take the Basic Skills Objectives and plan my curriculum to correlate.” Mr. Bobby Keaster, seventh grade health teacher, said, “Students today seem to want to grow up too fast.

Along with the ‘let’s grow up in a hurry and find out what life’s all about’ attitude, the kids seem to be losing a little bit of the tradition that has been handed down to them from their parents. “I think the youth in Nashville are a notch above most towns. How these kids handle problems, meet adversity and accept challenges will serve to direct our course for the future.” Mrs. Paula Branch, guidance counselor, serves the students in personal, social, and academic counseling. She advises students on selection of courses and explains credits, grade point averages, and requirements for graduation. The majority of the faculty at junior high said that academics should be put first at school. Other activities should be secondary.

A fresh start Even though most of the 1981 junior Scrappers were returning from the previous year, they were triumphant according to Coach David Ponder and Coach Don Derfler. They said that they were very pleased at the attitude of the team as a whole, the cooperation of all the players, and all the effort put forth by each and every player during the football season. During the pre - season, the team got back into shape, refreshed some of the old but good plays, and rearranged some of the players to new positions. One of the repositioned players was Stephen Jamison who was moved to center and did a very fine job, according to both coaches. The coaches were also very content with quarterbacks Billy Dawson and David Hicks. They said that because of the fine receivers, Gary Dan Futrell, David Hughes, and David Martin, the Scrappers’ passing game was very good. Billy Dawson (11) gives the ball to Spencer Whitmore (31), who runs through Ashdown's defense. The 1981 Junior Scrappers are: back row. Dale Patrick. Patrick Snodgrass. Monty Parker. Joe Nguyeu.

The junior Scrappers played in the district championship game. They were defeated by Ourdon, and because of this, the Junior Scrappers became runners-up. Coach DeBlack stated that the major scorers were Carl Preston, Micheal Benson and Billy Dawson. He also said that some or all of the boys have improved throughout the year, but the players that improved the most were Eundra Boles, Spencer Whitmore and Milton Jefferson. All players improved in their basic skills, knowledge of the game, and their ability to use this knowledge. Coach Jan Segrest said that the While on the defense. Kevin Robinson ( 6) tries to make a steal. girls were a young and experienced team, but she also said that they did show much improvement throughout the year. She was very proud when they reached their goal to be district champs. They attained their goal when they defeated Ourdon 49 to 29. The Junior Scrapperettes got to the semifinals in one tournament: they reached the finals in the Prescott tournament, and then they downed the Go-Devils in the district game. Coach Segrest said that the girls won all of their scheduled games. She added that her major scorers were Shema Davis, Melissa Marshall, and Oeneen Souder. She also said, “Some or all of my girls have improved tremendously in their skills. They became harder workers which boosted their confidence to make their goal come true.” Eundra Boles, ( 23) prepares to receive a pass from Milton Jefferson ( 18).

David Hicks wins the mile run in the downpour at Prescott during the district track meet. 164 Sports Spirit and determination The junior boys track team had the spirit and determination of true Scrappers during the track season. They won the overall meets at Prescott and Stamps, which were held in some of the worst weather. Most of the boys finished in second, third, and fourth places. Some of the boys that won the most ribbons were David Hicks, who entered the mile and the 880-run; Carl Preston, who entered the shotput and high jump; plus Eundra Boles and Kevin Robinson, who scored very high in the high jump and the 100 yard relay. Carl Preston also broke a record this season in the shotput. Because the team worked hard and proved to the school that they had a lot of talent and potential, the ninth graders should be a great help to the senior high track team. The junior Scrapperettes made up one of the best girls track teams that Nashville has had. They didn't win an overall meet but came in second in the district. The girls that received the most ribbons were Melissa Marshall. Susan Sanders, Marcia Leiven. Shema Davis, and Oeneen Souder, who also was the only single trophy winner all season. During the season several school records were broken. Some of these record breakers involved the following: Susan Sanders in the 110 yard hurdles, Oeneen Souder in the 220 and the 440-yard dashes, plus JoAnn Lofton. Kathy Oliver, Melissa Marshall, and Susan Sanders in the 880-yard relay. Other record breakers included the following; Shema Davis in the mile run; JoAnn Lofton, Marcia Leiven, Susan Sanders, and Cynthia Hawthorne in the mile relay; Marcia Leiven in the high jump; and Melissa Marshall in the shotput. Melissa Marshall also broke the district record for the discus. Spencer Whitmore tries to catch his breath after one of the exhausting relays. Freshman Jackie McLaughlin seems to exert every ounce of energy he has to finish the mile run. In this meet at Prescott, the junior Scrappers placed second. Track I65 Those who serve At the end of the school year, the students of Nashville Junior High elected four new officers to the Student Council: Billy Dawson was selected as president and Buddy Ayres was elected vice-president. Sissi Davis was chosen as secretary and Brett Cauley as treasurer. At the beginning of the year, eight to 12 representatives were chosen to represent the students and to inform the faculty of different student views and opinions. The first priority of the new Student Council was to start planning for the homecoming and the activities that were involved. Homecoming turned out to be a great success in the eyes of the students and faculty. At the end of the year the members held a meeting to choose the best all-around student. Billy Dawson was chosen the winner. The Library Club, sponsored by Mrs. Bertha Crumpton, started off the year by selling folders and book covers that had been purchased while in the old junior high building. In early October the Orange and Black Tea committee, advised by Mrs. Crumpton, began work on the Tea. The Orange and Black Tea was a success once again as students and faculty seemed to enjoy themselves fully. In March the ninth grade members took their annual trip to Little Rock for the state Library Association Convention. The Library Club had a busy, but prosperous year. At the end of the 1980-81 year, 21 members were chosen to serve this year as members of the National Junior Honor Society they were picked on the basis of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character. During the year the members, under the guidance of Mrs. Volene McKee, sold Valentine carnations for a fund raising project and prepared for the installation of the inductees who will be serving the year of 1982-83. The members served the community by going to the primary school every Thursday and helping the teachers. They observe Student Leadership Day on May 11 by spending the day with teachers at junior high and primary. The members also went on their end-of-the-year bowling trip with the new inductees.

Spirit lifters A very busy year for the junior high cheerleaders began with practice during the summer under the supervision of their sponsor. Mrs. Ann McAdams. They learned new pyramids, formations, dance routines, and skits that they would use during pep rallies and at various ball games. The squad promoted school spirit by decorating the lockers, painting “run-through” signs which were drawn by Mrs. LouAnn Blakely, selling snow cones, and having extra pep rallies at noon on campus. Because the girls were together so much during the year, they became very close and developed lasting friendships. Sadness was felt by the freshmen who will not be returning, but happiness was felt by the seventh and eighth graders. Under the field direction of Melissa Marshall, the band took the field to those familiar tunes of the Conquirors” and “Steppin’ Out,” and played songs in the stands such as “Takeoff March.” The auxiliary line attended camp at Nashville High, which was taught by college instructors. Melissa Marshall was the member of the auxilary line to attend camp at Hope. The band presented a concert at Christmas and one in the spring. Several band members attended solo-and-ensemble and most received about a “four” rating. The overall look of the band was a good one. according to Director Thomas Allison. Cheerleaders.

The club presented its play, A Spell of Evil, on December 10. After Christmas, talk began about plays, fashion shows, and trips, which were all approved by Mrs. Bertha Crumpton and the club. The first order of business was a double feature of two one-act plays: “No Time For Skirts” and “Why Teachers Go Nuts,’ which were presented to the elementary students. After that, best actor, John Bradford, and actress, Mary Norman, were revealed by Mrs. Crumpton. The fashion show, coordinated by Kathrine Carter, turned out to be a great success. A trip to the Perot Theater was planned. On Tuesday morning. March 30. the bus pulled up to be loaded with drama members. This year was the busiest year for the Drama Club. The yearbook staff, chosen at the first of the year, was one of the first organizations to start to work. With the help of Mr. Hollis Hughes. Miss Terry Melson, and Mr. John Robert Schirmer, they met every Tuesday during sixth period. During the year the staff recorded action shots of students in various ball games and track meets. They also took pictures of specific organizations, activities of student life, and of students and faculty in the classroom environment. By the end of the year the staff had developed all of the photographs, had written all of the copy, and had designed the pages in the junior high section of the yearbook. The Spy staff, sponsored by Mrs. Edith Barnes, was fully prepared to handle the year. They reported on student stories, opinion polls, comical situations, and student attitudes. The Junior High Spy staff published three editions of the paper this year at Christmas, Valentine, and Easter. Mr. Howard said that the Christmas issue was one of the very best every published. Mary Norman light the candles in preparation for the mind transfer while Laura Reaves waits in agony. The members of the Drama Club include: (sitting) Gina Hancock. Secretary Marilyn Ackley. President Sootty Copeland. Lea Dennis. Vice president Tommy Beene. Laura Reaves; (standing) Harriet Batsin. John Bradford. Rhonda Joyoe. Galene Kirby. Myra Manley. Mary Norman. Theresa Tyree.

Editor of the Nashville News. Louie Graves, poees for a picture after completing the front page. A large part of the income for the yearbook came from patrons or advertisers. Many new advertisers as well as the usual ones supported the Scrapper and promoted their businesses by their purchases of advertisements. Many of these patrons were involved in the community by such activities as making improvements on their buildings to “beautify the city;” by supporting the various organizations, buying advertisements and purchasing products; and by backing the Scrapper sports teams. Coca-Cola Bottling Company received the Chamber of Commerce's City Beautification Award for a new building. Baker's Easy Pay was presented the award for City Beautification for a remodeled building. Merchants in Nashville became accustomed to seeing Scrapper staff members as well as Tattler staff members. Whenever merchants saw them coming, they had three choices — hide, run, or buy. Overall the merchants in Nashville were very supportive of both the yearbook and the newspaper staffs.

Fortunately for us, forests are renewable, because the equivalent of a 100-foot tree is needed every year for every man, woman and child in the nation - for lumber, plywood and other wood panels, paper, packaging and the many other products made from wood and wood fiber. In addition, forests provide recreational opportunity, return oxygen to the air, protect watersheds and are a habitat for wildlife.

Hard-working, studious, talented, ambitious, and dependable — these descriptions were regularly used to describe the elite few who put forth that extra effort which enabled them to become honor graduates. Although the majority of students came to school and participated in the activities there. there were only a few students who spent that extra hour or two every night studying for tests or doing homework. The only qualification for being an honor graduate was having a gradepoint average of 3.5 or above. The grades which were averaged to get this percentage began during the freshman year. In order to become an honor graduate, a student had to realize early, the importance of keeping one's grades good. The honor graduates were announced at the awards assembly which Teacher-of-the-Year Mr . Neva Byrd addressee the honor graduates during the Lions Club Banquet. Honor graduates prepare to sing ‘The Times of Our Lives during the graduation. was held on May 21. Fifteen of these students received scholarships from various colleges and universities. On May 27, all of the honor graduates were recognized again at the annual Lions Club Honor Graduate Banquet held in the high school cafeteria. When they arrived, the young ladies each received a white carnation corsage and the young men — a white carnation boutonniere. The honor graduates also received a certificate of honor from Lions Club President, Sam Ellis. “The Times of Our Lives was the song performed by the honor students on graduation night.

The night of May 28 was hot, sweaty and miserable, but the seniors were determined to get through graduation. Because of bad weather, the ceremony was held in the gym. Fans couldn't be operated because of the noise they make. Gubernatorial candidate Bill Clinton was guest speaker for the occasion. He didn't mention his race with Joe Purcell in the run-off to be held June 8. stressing instead the importance of education in a person’s life. Mr. Clinton promised that his speech would be brief, a remark which the audience in the packed gym appreciated. He told the class of '82 to thank their parents, teachers and the taxpayers for making their education possible. The seniors sang their own version of “Thanks for the Memories. On this song and also on the honor graduates' song the class was accompanied by Andrea Young on the piano. The seniors practiced on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On the latter two days they practiced in the gym, in case of rain. Since it did rain, it was a good thing they knew what to do. Principal Bill Dawson spent many hours directing students on how and where to walk and also helped them on the class song. Graduation exercises began with Salutatorian Mike Spigner, who presented the invocation and salutatorian address. Scott Elder gave the valedictory address, and class President Robert Bennett welcomed everybody and introduced former Governor Bill Clinton. Mr. Bill Dawson reviewed the scholarship recipients and presented the seniors for graduation. Superintendent Carl Barger and Board President Ed McCrary presented the diplomas to the graduates.

Plenty! Well, school's out and many graduates are already beginning to realize that they will have to accept more responsibilities in the future. I know many of my classmates had to do a lot of growing up in the past few months but I think they finally understand that they won’t have Mom and Dad around all the time to make all their decisions. Of course there are the ones who probably won’t ever grow up, but then it takes all kinds of people. Okay, enough of the sentimental stuff. I would like to thank the many people who have helped put this book together. First of all I would like to express my appreciation to John Robert Schirmer. Mr. Schirmer worked many hours after school and on weekends. His patience, understanding and help will always be remembered by all of us. Not only did Mr. Schirmer advise us on the yearbook, but he was also available whenever we needed personal advice. For all of these things and many others I say “Thanks, Mr. Schirmer.” I would like to thank Walsworth Representative Gordon Hale for his support and help. Thanks for the patience at the workshops.

By Terry Melson, Editor Yearbook staff members Victor Harding and Lisa Smith aid Editor Terry Melson in choosing the beet picture for a section. Members of the Scrapper and Tattler staffs display some of their journalism awards at the Camelot Inn in Little Rock. Editor's Spread 227 Interesting? Positively! May 13 The unknown (?) seniors were auctioned to the highest bidder during the annual slave sale. Because the slaves did not begin working until the next day. their masters had an entire night to decide on the best form of torture. May 22 Excitement and fun filled the typical (?) Junior Senior Banquet. The theme of the banquet was ‘‘The Times of Your Life. May 25 Spring athletes were presented awards and honors at the uninterest-ing(?) Spring Sports Banquet. May 27 The unexceptional ) honor graduates enjoyed the Lions Club Banquet held in the cafeteria. They were presented with certificates by Lions Club President Sam Ellis. May 28 The insignificant (?) events of the past twelve years reached their climax as the graduates walked down the aisle during the graduation exercises, which were held in the gym because of threatening weather. Senior Virginia Power takes one final look at school before going home on the last day. Yearbook staff member Eddy Lyons concentrates on getting his work done so he will meet his deadline. Eddy will be Editor-in-Chief of the 1983 Scrapper. These dates and many others had a special meaning in each individual’s life. Many fond memories will be kept from all the years at Nashville High. But the last month had an even greater significance to the seniors, for it was the time that many of them understood that, ‘‘This is it,” and that they had better do their best if they ever wanted to get anywhere in life. One thing which must be explained for the ones who haven’t already figured it out is the adjectives which are followed by a question mark. This can be explained by their connection to the theme of this book — Beyond Description. When there was an adjective followed by a question mark, it simply meant exactly the opposite of the adjective used. Beyond description — that is how many students and faculty members reflected upon the year at NHS. It was beyond description in various ways. For instance, who could describe the closeness felt after defeating Fayetteville in football, or that feeling after winning the state championship in track? What about the something special that was felt during the pep rallies or during homecoming? Think how hard it is to describe those emotions after the Junior Senior Banquet and the Spring Sports Banquet. And then there was the everyday lunch break — you know — eating in the cafeteria or concession stand and visiting with your friends. There was definitely something exceptional about those memorable times. The classroom was the place in which the most time was spent at school, although most students didn't realize the importance of these hours. Then, last but not least, the Honor Graduate Banquet and graduation. Words are not adequate to describe the way the seniors as well as others felt at this extraordinary occasion. These experiences and many more are why graduates will look back at Nashville High with a smile and think, ‘‘It really is hard to put into words the way it felt to be a part of everything there ... I guess it was beyond description.” 228 Closing mWALSWORTH PUBLISHING COMPANY
